Yes this is the way i did it, adjusted the preload then turned the whole shock assembly into the bottom mount.

did you buy the coilovers used? something is wrong ..maybe a siezed coil. you can easily tuck the wheels with these coilovers.

only thing i can think of if youre adjusting them correctly is incorrect spring lengths.

I just put on true coils also and just to clarify, is this picture correct?

To max out the front and rear, I would turn the bottom portion up towards the spring till it didn’t turn anymore?

You should go with a 225 front and a 25mm spacer front 30mm rear

THANKS BRO. I ended up going with a 225/35 tires up front with a 15mm spacer and out back I went with a 245/35 tire with a 25mm spacer. I'm hoping this will get me where I want to be.

jonny right idea, but the collars u r askin not to touch are the ones used to turn the whole shock assembly...turn that bottom one counterclockwise to raise and turn the top one clockwise to lower....of course make sure thems 2 collars are locked...

midnight wish i could see this in person and rectify...
