Re: HOW do i index front coils
Just make sure one hole is completely covered by the bottom coil that's making contact on the a-arm. Its easy. As far as indexing on the rear springs go there isn't a spec, but i have found that moving the coils around has helped get things level.

here's a pic i found that will make more sense, the suspension unloaded but the perches are not level even with the suspension loaded as i recall.
