Re: Advice for adjusting Walker Evans Height

I did it on the ground. I did it just because I wanted to try. It was at the height that I wanted when I had it. I just moved it a little just to see then moved it back.
Tony, Trying to adjust your shocks on the ground is a great way to break the adjustment ring by using too much force (your punch and hammer idea). It's the wrong way to do it man.

When the vehicle is lifted so that the tires are off the ground there is a hell of a lot less resistance or weight on the adjustment ring. You should never have to use a hammer to adjust the shocks. If the adjustment spanner won't work well on one side, use a punch that fits the hole and two box wrenches as a lever. If you don't understand what I'm saying, let me know I'll take a picture of this technique and post it later today.
