WTF.... lol

How do you take the rears apart to adjust height..... the 14mm nut on the top just spins, not sure what else is spinning inside the coil.

i read your question twice... and still didnt understand lol... by height i thought you were thinking of turning the springs perches down the threads to lower it... but then you mentioned the 14mm nut... and that threw me off

you loosen the two outside perchs and spin them downwards. loosen the inner perch and turn it up. you should be able to turn the whole shock the inner part will go downwards making the whole assembly shorter. get it to where you want and spin the outer perchs up to where the spring will have no play. sorry if my way of explaining it is confusing

I know how to adjust them when taken apart (but thanks for the explanation).... couldn't get the 14mm nut on the top loose without spinning the entire inside shaft. Got it loose with a hammer though.

haha i just finished taking of the POS Racelands and put thr RSD yesterday. i really need to adjust the height in the back though. so i can turn the black bottom part down wards to make the coil its self bigger so the tire wont be tucking? btw i have them set 9 in front and 11 in rears n feeels great.

To adjust the rear you need to pull them out and completely disassemble them to adjust height.

if your talking about the back one that goes through the coil.. the end pies stays to the left n the threaded bolt should be sticking out to the right(right side)
