Comes with wrenches. I left it at factory setting. It’s kind of a pain and didn’t turn easy. Jack up and take weight off. Use a little lubricant.

Thanks. yes once their installed it's also very awkward to try to turn.
Did u find even a factory it raised ur bike height???
I put new tires one so it seems higher but not sure if it's just the tires

No i didn’t notice a raise at factory. I wasn’t looking to raise mine. I’m more worried about being top heavy than ground clearance. I have new aarms and 30 inch tires.

I was looking to get up another inch or so. which can be achieved with the vertex.
I did the same super atv pro a arms, frame stiffener and 30 inch tires (kenda Klevers). I assume the dial bottoms out soft or hard?

They are night and day between the stock shocks. the bike rides so much better on rocky terrain. I'll usally ride them around 7 (medium) then on really rocky Terran dial it to one. (soft) and graise over the rocks. I haven't plowed yet but will dial it up 14 ,(hard) and see how it goes!

I don’t ride on rocky terrain much but when I do like going to the old house and overlook at Tackett creek that’s where I noticed the biggest difference.
