"Well there it is guys it's definitely not slammed like i was going for it, but i will say i can definitely get it to go a lot lower I know the front has more adjustment in it,and the rear right now, is all the way down but i can go ahead adjustment collar that we put underneath the spring i can take that out and that will probably give us another half inch."

"The lock adjusting tool here is much more robust than on the original style. here you can see how small these are. it's really hard to get some good leverage on them. the newer ones much much larger and really give a nice wrap around of the collar itself. so definitely a nice upgrade."
