How To Raise Coilovers?

To raise coilovers on your vehicle, follow these steps:

  1. Loosen the adjusting ring or collar on each coilover with an adjustable wrench. This is usually located at the top of the shock near the spring perch.
  2. Cranking the adjusting ring clockwise will raise the vehicle and counterclockwise will lower it. A quarter turn at a time is usually a good increment.
  3. After each adjustment, drive the vehicle to settle the suspension and check the ride height with a measuring tape from the bottom of the fender to the ground. Repeat until you reach your desired height.
  4. Once the desired height is reached, tighten the lock ring or collar back down to secure the adjustment in place. Be sure not to overtighten.
  5. Repeat the process for all four shocks/struts to maintain proper ride height and handling balance.

Raising coilovers too high can cause issues with stability, handling, and wear prematurely. Go incrementally and test drive between adjustments.
