    I couldn't even do that with mine. Had to take the whole C/O out to adjust the top collar. Only 4 bolts and I didn't jack up the collar holes on mine doing it in a vice

    Time? 4 bolts :anonymous:

    And makes adjusting them 4x quicker. Just my 2cents when it's a PITA on the truck

    I wish mine did. I can get like 1/10 of a turn with the T handle, then can't get to the next hole in the collar. Plus for mine at least it would be the biggest PITA to re-tighten the collar with the Allen after with the space in there :bananadead:

    Adding the resi on the first gen takes up the wiggle room to adjust on the truck I guess

    yea when I did my initial adjustment after I let the coils settle I found it easier just to take them off completely and do them in a vise because it was gonna be a bunch of turns.

    You get the rear end sorted out from the calico run?

    Fuck it I'm just going to take the things off and adjust them, lol. Tightening the allen key is also a bitch with them on.

    Just make sure you can tighten the resi hose on there good. I found it awkward to do. Wouldn't want that hose loosening up on you!

    Make sure not to loosen the Allen key on the collar too much or it'll hope threads!

    Side note: would have used multi-quote option but as soon as I posted, a new response would be posted. For anyone thinking that :D

    Would you believe I'm just a mall crawler? :notsure:

    That was the night I put them on. The lower pic you can see the resi is still in the foam wrapping :D

    Of course I do. How else am I supposed to get them to shine that good on the street :bananadead:

    Haven't had to do it in a while, but after trying to adjust my King's (with reservoirs) on the truck, I found it much easier to just take them off the truck. Takes all of 10-15 minutes to get them off. Just have to find a solid way to secure the shock when its off the truck, that collar can take be pretty hard to turn.

    I know all the King fanboys will flame me, but Icon is very easy to adjust :)
