Bilstein Coilover Height Adj. Question

For the lowest ride height in the front I want the spring nut all the way down on the last thread correct?

I wouldn't recommend it as you'll most likely hit the bump stops quite frequently. Also, watch out on the rear wheel arches, there's a metal tab that protudes around 10 o'clock (to the rear of the arch) that can take off chunks of your nice tires. No need to roll, but you could bend it up/file it down some of additional clearance.

Thanks for the tip...I just want to confirm that threading down is lowering the car and up is raising.

Now if I could just figure out how to remove the rear interior tray to get to my rear top shock mounts...I will be darned if I can see how the bose speaker box and rear tray come out..............

With the Cab, it's much easier to access the rear struts
I don't remember which way to thread, but I have to imagine it's in the manual ;-)

think about it this way... the farther the BOTTOM of the spring extends (or sits when static) from the TOP... the LOWER the car.
