JBA adjust a strut Assistance please.

[nohitter64]

I just pounded th punch weld and I am trying to adjust my jba coilover. I need to gain 3/4" so I need to turn the adjustment ring downward 3/8". What us the technique because what I am doing isn't working. I tried turning the lock but up to free the adjustment ring but the whole threaded cylinder moves. That ain't right is it?


UPDATE: DISREGARD. WD40 to the rescue.

Did you have full weight off of the front suspension when adjusting ? That helps.
Plus at least once a month I spray mine with Kroll just to keep threads clean and the crap off of them. Many do not wash or clean them even, then hard to adjust.

I had the wheel off but the strut was still attached at the bottom. Once the wd40 set in the jam nut moved easily. I need to up my maintenance game. [emoji16]

I usually clean/lube those threads every time I change the oil. How you liking the suspension setup thus far?

I love it. Rides noticeably better. Had it for over a year with no complaints. With the new tires- swapped the GY Wrangler S-whatevers and now have Yokohama AT G2015. Rides great (based on the one day I had it)! Too bad work has me traveling and my daughter is tearing it up this week.[emoji2]

Mine has settled some since the 2.5 inch Silver kit was installed about 20 months ago.
I'm sitting at about 19-3/4 in the front and rear.

I've been meaning to crank a few threads on each corner since May, but it's been too hot in my garage to want to mess with it since summer kicked in.

I've had Michelin Defender LTX M&S 245/70/16's on it since the swap.

Been happy with it so far.

Thanks for the tip about spraying the threads.

You sagged 70% of your lift height in less than 2 years? I'd be bugging.
