Custom Adjustable suspension tool

I had to crank the hell out of my new ICON front suspension as it settled big time overnight. I had them put a heavier coil on and change to a heavier oil and set it for 3 inches of lift. By morning they had fallen a full 2.5 inches.

I borrowed TiTank's custom tool to adjust them. It made things infinitely easier. He ordered the basic wrench from Wheeler's Offroad. You'd have to be pretty strong to adjust them with such a short lever arm.



Then he ground the tool down a bit so it was a better fit on the shock:



Also ground down the handle so he could fit it into the extension he made.









Simple mod that works perfectly. It makes turning the collar on even a heavily compressed spring VERY easy. Nice work Don! Thanks for hooking me up..... again.
