Default Change Ride Height

I am still in the process of putting new shocks and springs on my 90 cab.

Once I have them installed and say I need to adjust the height, can it be done with the shock is installed. Is there a special tool for rotating the adjusting nut on the shock.

Thanks,
Duck

Get a pro to ride height,align and cross weight the car.
It will transform the car.

Yes, I plan to get it professionally done afterwards (hopefully I can find some one in Wilmington). My drive way slopes up to my garage. I need to test some ride heights to make sure I can get it in the garage without scraping.

It is a process where they balance the weight of the car.
Corner balance and cross weight.
