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?

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..

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.
