adjusting Radflos?

TTN4x4 · 11-11-2009, 07:06 AM

I just got the 2.5 Radflo coil overs put on. Friggin Awesome!

It appears there are two adjustment rings that the springs sits on. A thicker black one (against the base of the spring) and a smaller width black one (against the larger one). Does the smaller one serve as a lock for the larger one? Do I need to adjust one before the other? I used a bit of WD-40 and still no movement. How much force is necessary?

Thanks in advance.

Time to go get dirty!!

Sounds right, are you lifting the front of the truck off the ground? That will make it much easier.

Yeah lifted the truck up. Maybe just need more force, but I was afraid to use too much in case the rings interlocked and there was a proper order of wrenching with the spanner wrench. Seems like there must be a reason for the two separate rings... or it is simply to give more possible grip points for the wrench if you don't have much room to work with.

The one is a locknut. You have to back it off some first before adjusting the actual adjustment nut.

The smaller one? AAAHHHHAAAAHHHH!

So loosen the smaller, adjust the bigger, tighten the smaller?

I knew there had to be a SOP.

P.S. I love that skid plate did you fab it? I need something like that instead of the dinky OEM unit.

It takes a LOT of force. I learned the hard way to stick some of those hard rubber kitchen drawer pads on my spanner wrench to keep from scratching the paint. I touched up the initial scratches with a Sharpie marker per Greg's suggestion.
