Input Reqd from JK owners running EVO Double Throwdown system

JK owners running EVO DTD system

Do you adjust the silver cross over rings on all the coilovers ?
The cross over rings are the silver rings that are threaded on the shock body. You can adjust them up or down to determine when the spring hits them and transitions from the initial spring rate to the bottom spring rate.

Or do you just simply install install the coilovers as they come shipped from EVO?

Second question.

Do you adjust the compression tubes and rebound tubes or leave it as stock from factory?

Since we do not have real estate to mount addtional King Bump stops how do you adjust the rebound compresssion tube to work as bump stop?

Any input would be great especially from EVO if they can?

The timing rings are the silver things you are talking about and yes they need to be adjusted.

If you don't know how to tune a shock then don't do it. You'll fuck it up.

If you're going to do any changes make sure you mark them, write it down and document what changes you made. Go test it and repeat the steps. Do not change more than one thing at a time either.

Thanks for the gentle replies.

Can you guys post up some close up pics of the cross over rings adjusted? Just need to see where you guys are with the adjustment.
I am on 37" Nittos. With 125 PSI in each tube.

By the way. Your brake line is rubbing on your control arm.

O OK. The 2 tone look is nice!! OK I'm done screwing up another thread. Sorry

It's actually rubbing because my LCA is bent up so badly, lol. Most likely it will be replaced / fixed once my motor crap is over.
