Posting for reference only:
Looking from top down (hood to ground) you rotate the collars counter clockwise to loosen the locking collar and also to adjust the ride height down on the adjustment collar.
The way that works the best to adjust the coilovers are to first measure the fenders on level ground on both sides. Then adjust the passenger side all the way to the top (lowest height). Drop the truck, drive it in and out and then measure the driver and passenger side. If the driver side is taller than passenger side. Raise truck measure the thread showing on driver side. Reduce the amount of thread by 1/2 of the difference in fender height between driver and passenger side. Drop truck drive in and out, and measure again. It sounds complicated but really easy when you actually do it, it will make a lot more sense once you start doing it.
To adjust the coilovers both front wheels need to be drooped completely. There is no need to remove the wheels. Use the hook wrench to loosen the top lock collar of the adjustment ring. Using the hook wrench rotate the adjustment collar down for additional lift or up for less lift. The lift will be approximately double the distance the collar is moved. Once the desired lift is reached tighten the lock collar on the adjustment collar again. Tip:‐ Using some lubrication on the thread and collar will make it easier to adjust. DO NOT adjust the collar beyond 1” of exposed thread between the top of the collar and the bottom of the top shock cap.
