Erik likes Matt's rod... I'm so disappointed we don't have a "gay rainbow smiley"


Does anyone intend on experimenting with different spring rates?

I was thinking about the 500# setting I have very little weight in the front.

Thought about a notch heavier, but will see how they do as is.

Matt, those Jegs wrenches seem to be a large and a small size.
JEGS Steel Spanner Wrench Set is designed to work with many coil-over shocks, such as Competition Engineering, QA1, Strange, and Koni. These zinc dichromate-plated wrenches have a hole in the handle to insert a 3/8" ratchet or breaker bar to remove/tighten stubborn nuts! Small ID wrench & large ID wrench

We don't need the large and the small, do we?

Would you also mind going out to your truck and measuring the outer diameter of the adjuster rings, so we can determine exactly which wrench will work?

Just got my tracking number too! Sweet!

But back to the thread jack - I too would be curious if it is the large or the small wrench. I will order the set from Amazon which has both, but curiosity is starting to edge in!

Yes when I get home from work I will let you know which one I use. That set its a good price to just have an extra. You never know! I'm not even fully maxed out, I was thinking about going up a bit more before my next alignment.

I think I might get mine powder coated first. It'd be kind of cool to have them match the red already in the rear of the truck. Is it pointless, maybe. But cool, yes. Silver is so mhem.

I think I got that part lined up already. I had similar thoughts, but keep debating color.

If I were to powder coat... I'd want silver. Haha... Maybe black but that's boring.
