QA1 adjustment need help

What is the best way to adjust the fronts. I remeber someone posting a while back that the best adjustment is 7 clicks front and 5 in the back. Whats the best way to get to the fronts? Do I have to lift it up?

Adjustment know should be on bottom as far as I know, so just reach in and turn it.

Never had any problem getting to mine.

the back is visible but i've looked at the fronts with my wheels turned and couldnt even see the *****. Are they facing forward or backwords?

The ***** should be facing inwards.

You reach up and into a hole in the lower control arms.

Be gentle. Turn them all the way back to zero. Then click them back up where you want them.

Counselor Skelton is correct. The ***** face inward, back to zero, count up, and be gentle.

I usually turn the wheels one to allow for easier access to the adjustment ****.

7 Front 5 rear is just a good average setting for most trucks.

You can play with the adjustments a little to give you the ride and handling you like.

Say if you have a heavy fiberglass toneau you might want to stiffen the rears up a click or two. Or maybee you run different front springs where it might work better at a different setting.
