Quick question about adjusting coil spring tension on the fox 2.5 shocks

[RK Racing]

Question : if I would like to adjust the collar on the coil about one or so turns, do I need to compress the coil springs with a coil spring compression tool? Or …… just loosen that one bolt on the collar and put a spanner tool in there and adjust. Thanks!

Things will always go easier compressing the springs just enough to turn freely. Won’t gaul threads doing it that way.

Nailed as usual.

You don't have to. But compressing the spring will make it much easier/safer.

Yeah, no one on here is helpful - just a bunch of dudes making damper jokes and trashing Tacos.

If we didn't do that then what would be the point?! ??

Throw some pics in once you have it leveled!

There is a 3 1/8” inch difference from before and after, but it takes about 5 inches to level it. We did a test on the second day that I had it at home and I think it was 4 7/8 lift on the front with a floor jack that made it level. 3 inches will not level it……

I've read the Tremor version with the Fox shocks comes leveled from the factory. Can anyone here confirm that?

It is closer but not level. I used a 1" leveling spacer (1/2" thick) to get mine level.
