i recently got ksports and plan on installing them over the weekend. i know how to get to old ones off and the new ones in, but i having trouble understanding how exactly to adjust the ride height in the front and back. ive read the instructions that came with it and ive been searching forums for 2 weeks trying to figure this out.

it looks easy but im just having a mental block

I had ksports on my truck,

on the bottom of the coils is a NUT over the strut, the ksports come with two wrench's.

Take the wrench and put it wround the NUT at the bottom of the spring, turn it to the left I believe and it compresses the spring therefor lowering the ride height. You also need to turn the lower one to the right. It is simple but you have to have some strength it will feel like its not meant to be turned at first but once you start turning it, it gets easier.

(DO NOT USE GREASE WD40 OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT)

(DO NOT COMPRESS TOO FAR)

(MOST IMPORTANT: REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW MANY TIMES YOU ROTATE THE NUT AND MATCH THE FRONTS AND MATCH THE REARS TWO TURNS FOR THE FRONT IS EQUIVALENT TO ONE TURN IN THE REAR "ROUGHLY")

Good luck and be sure to post pictures!
