Loving the drop! I had a question about your coils, are these pics with the out of box height? (No adjustments )
Also, when you adjusted the rears, how did you do it? Did you have to adjust the shocks as you adjusted the spring height??

For the rear, I didn't adjust the spring height. I had to adjust the shocks tho. I believe its called setting the length of the shock. If you don't set your spring to preload and adjust your shocks to correct lenght, your springs can pop off. I hope that makes sense. Here's a video where he explains it better than I can. Hope that helps.

You only adjust the spring for the height.
One more question man, how do you adjust the two nuts on the springs? Do you have to turn them together?

Here you go, you gotta hold one locking ring nut and turn the other. Its a pain the *** for the rear because sometimes the whole spring move. The front is much easier!
Awesome thank you!!! I was looking for how to vids but I couldn't find any.

@derekfriedrice I dont see how u were able to fit 225s. I hear mine rub on dips. This is the rear bumper btw. Bumper hits the tires. I'm maxed out on camber.

That's interesting, it might be my offset, 18x9 et34, so it pulls it in about 10 mm. I'll take pics tomorrow of the rear, that's interesting bro

Congrats on the progress it's looking real nice! I've got 9.5 inch wide wheels wrapped with 245 plus some wheel spacers in the rear and mine use to rub HARD where you're rubbing in the rear, I actually had to remove those screws and snap off the plastic piece behind the bumper in order to roll that lip flat, solved the rubbing problem

Wow! I bet you were rubbing. I need to play around with camber a little more. Hopefully I can get it to not rub without cutting the bumper. Thanks for your advice. Ill keep that in mind.
