Did you say usually 4 turns = 1/2 inch?
Don’t try this with kings
Very helpful, thanks
It seems like my shocks are turning when trying to lower the coilovers. Any advise would be great
Are the springs supposed to turn also?
Will doing this adjustment require an alignment?
Thanks for this, have adjusted my coilovers a few times now. Recently went to 700 lb springs and needed to bring the front down and pulled this video up as a reminder. FWIW, the icon spanner wrench is garbage. I used a 3/8" "extended length" punch from harbor freight with a cheater bar on the end. Turned the coilovers pretty easily. I was taking off preload, rather than adding so adding might be a bit more challenging with the 700 lb springs. Spray the threads down liberally with PB blaster before you start.
If I have a stage 5 2-2.5” lift on my F150 and the collar is all the way at the top, does that mean I’m sitting at 2” and could only gain a half an inch by doing this? Would it ride poorly if I made this adjustment and maxed out the coilover?
Does any of the stage comes with the tease spacer?
How about the rear?
is it a full turn or half turn ?
A shop wants to charge $300 for this lol
Do you need to re-align the vehicle after every adjustment?
He didn't wan to say the maximum height
Spray the threads with WD40 it will help out
Height not heighth
Can you just adjust these before you install them?
So maximum is if the threads showing at the top are past that measurement correct?
Great video. You really broke it down well. Thank you!
When it full droop my uca is touching the coilover. Is this normal?
good instructions 4 turns is 1/2" ride ht change, ck.
4 turn (cranks) or 4 full revolutions will give a half an inch?
Damm. No spring clamps needed?
So if we set pre-load to absolute minimum (just enough to keep the spring from moving at full extension) will that result in the best ride quality? Or is it good to shoot for 50/50 bump/droop?
I have a 2018 tacoma sr5 4×4.. was wondering how many inches of lift can you adjust it to. Would like around 2 an a quarter or 2 half inches up front and would u need new UCA's and or a different drop, aswell as changing the needle bearing?? Thanks
Just did this. Another good trick to add, is to spray the thread and top of the spring with some WD40 first. Difference is night and day.
This might be a silly question… but is there a way to tell if your truck is leaning other than just looking at it? I believe mine has a lean but it could be very minor not a big deal but I would like to hear thoughts or ideas? Thanks
Hey i just bought a set fir my 2016 tacoma but im not sure on what you mean on the 2.13” of preload , is that 2.13” inches or what do you mean by that ?
Do you need to lift the frame up to adjust the height
Can someone clarify preset height is 2" or 2.5" for Ram 1500?
Is it easy to remove and install the front springs to have them powder coated?
Just had my ICON stage 5 installed at 4WP. It just BARELY rubs a tiny part of the fender lining (18×9 wheel with a 285/65/18 Ridge Grappler, but nothing major by any means. And the ride quality…wow! It rides great!!!!!! ICON makes some top notch components!!!! EDIT 8.12.19. Installer only had 1 1/4" inches of exposed threads, that's why it was barely rubbing. Took it back and they adjusted the coil overs to have 2" of exposed threads. Now it doesn't rub a bit.
This is why I went icon on both my trucks… thanks for the videos no more binding
I have a 4.25 in suspension lift could these add on to level the front
Turning the adjuster ring is suuuper difficult. Iike two hands and pulling pretty hard. And I'm seeing a few fine metal shavings coming out the bottom. I have new coilovers that were just put on a few days ago, and just driven around town a bit. Is this just because of some grit in the threads or is it really that hard to turn? Yes, I loosened the set screw 🙂
I am a wimp, please make an extension for the wrench.
Awesome video, I’m thinking about adjusting the height on my icon coilovers to .5” or an 1” Is it absolutely necessary to redo my alignment after the height adjustment? I just had them done when I got my icons installed.
Off subject of the video, but, just put my icon rear 2" lift coil springs in and was wondering what the settling time is?
