Yeah.. so you're saying turn the top collar or "spring perch" back up.. will that get my spring rates back though? Thing is I never broke the top two collars apart.. just the bottom one to adjust.. then turned the top one to the left which from what I understand is how you bring it down.. You dont touch the middle locking collar correct?

supposedly your not suppose to touch the middle part. Just the bottom one. But what I did was I adjusted if from top to bottom and it gave me a much stiffer ride.. Idk if anyone did it that way but I liked the ride better. Lol but here's a link from couple pages back that it should look like from adjusting it from bottom to top without touching the top and middle collars.. I hope you Get the idea..

I gotcha.. yeah that's my friend Johnny.. I helped him install those in my driveway lol. That's why I didn't understand what was going on with mine.. we didn't have an issue with his. Just finished messing around with it more and the spring was not loose this time? Still need to test drive it and see how it rides. Got dampening set at 4-5 from stiff.

How low can you get your front gap between the collars? Yesterday it seems like I maxed out with 1 1/8 left in between the top/mid collar and bottom collar. Wouldn't let me go any further since I guess the thread was all the way at the bottom of the mounting bracket..

From bottom to top you'll be able to max it out. But from top to bottom I don't think it's possible. The only reason I got super low is because I was running negative camber.. Camber also affects your ride height as well.

Oh.. I think I am starting to understand.. what I did today didn't fix my problem. Gonna try something else tomorrow.. hopefully it gets the job done..

Very nice Royal.. can't wait to see your new setup

Heres another addition to help us out. I can't stand videos that just automatically play.
