how long does it take to raise on all 4 sides, without removen rims?

 

If you don't have 4 jackstands it should take you about 45 minutes or so. I can jack up all four points, take the wheels off and adjust the collars in about 15-20 minutes.

 

i may be missing something, but i have ground controls, and all i have to do is jack up the front lossen the thing and spin it either up or down. and the same for the back. it takes me about 5 min to do all four. no need to remove wheels. Am i missing something in the conversation?

 

Yeah you can do it with open spokes designs, but not other wheels.

 

Yeah, it is alot easier to loosen it if you have 17"s.

But I'm having a hard time adjusting the front one. It's so hard to spin it when spring is pressing it down. Wish it came with a tool that I can spin with.

The hardest thing when I raise or drop is getting the even space. I set the left(or right) rear one about inch higher than right(left) rear one to get an even height. Why are they so different?
It took me hour and half to get all four corners even.

 

What I do is measure the car when it's on the ground with my weight in the car. Measure from the fender to the ground and make sure you are on level ground.

Then on the collars add or subtract the amount you want to equallize on the collars and lower the collars to that mark.

 

i have 17s on my car, but i dont do it between the spokes, my hands cant fit, i just reach in between the wheel and fender,there is plenty of room. i have a 5th gen though, it may be different then yours. and as for the hieght adjustment, i just count the lines on the collar. it seems the get me pretty close to perfect.
