    Trying to adjust the Kings tonight because I promised the boy we’d install together tomorrow (he’s 6yr old, and thinks the Kings are the most amazing thing he’s ever seen LMAO).
    I’ve seen multiple posts on 4 threads or 5 threads = 1”.
    I have coachbuilder shims I’m also using (2 on driver 1 on passenger) so that the Kings aren’t overloaded and ride like shit.
    I wanted to run right at 3.25”-3.5”.
    From my understanding CB shims are 1/2”, so to accomplish my goal I should be at appx 12 threads passenger (+ 1 CB shim) and 12 threads driver (+ 2 CB shim)?
    Any info is appreciated! Thx!

    The Coilover Adjusting Instructions for my King 2.5's has the following note:

    "5-Turns equal 1-inch of lift. 2 1/2-turns equal 1/2-inch of lift."

    10-4 - they came with 10 threads showing so I had no idea how many turns that is, but 1 turn = 1 thread I should’ve figured out Lol.
