Spanner wrenches.. Put my strange stuff on this weekend with the new K member but sitting way to low now and my stuff didnt come with any wrenches. Anyone have a set I can borrow for a day or two. Dont really want to buy a set right now since i dont have any other springs to swap around anyway. I'll buy some when I have a need for them more than once a year.

Thanks,
Brad

I have some QA1 wrenches. If they will work for you, you can borrow them.

I always throw the spanner wrenches in the corner and use a hammer/punch to tighten them.

If you use Torrington bearings in the seats like I did on my QA1's, it takes minimal effort to spin them with a spanner. I've had to use a punch before I installed the bearings.

I have the Torrington bearings in and adjusted them as much as I could just turning them up by hand but as of right now i'm still about 2 inches low on ride height.

Copy that. Are you going to be in the area anytime soon? You can swing by and pick them up.

I'll be in town tomorrow, just not sure exactly where and what my schedule will be.

I'll put them in the truck. Do you still have my cell #?
