I'm still having trouble adjusting my basics. I have a 1 1/2 finger gap all around except for the Rear Left. Back there I have a 2 finger gap. When I count the threads everything seems even to me. I need help adjusting it even on all fours....

you can't just count threads... when the spring settles they'll be different heights... you just have the keep adjusting until they're the same height... you also have to take into consideration that all the wheels don't have the same camber so that could also be why there is the height difference...

just slam it! take the driveway almost parallel to the sidewalk and go slowly. or just use wooden planks to help you up.
