I don't think he even knew you are German. I have a German sister in-law. Since I know him well, I will apologize on his behalf as I'm confident he did not mean that term the way a German citizen would take it.

So it sounds I have misunderstood that. Hm that happens because we talk different languages.

Spreken de Deutsch? Ich gescheitert Deutsch.

I work for a french international company and we work with so many nationalities it happens and is surprising how the simplest things can get misunderstood. You really don't realize how many simple concepts are culturally based until you are exposed to an international experience. I think I've learned more about the way people communicate ideas in the last 2yrs than all of my previous work experience.

I apologize if you took it the wrong way. Completely forgot where you are from. Sorry dude didn't mean any disrespect.

Karsten, just for clarification. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... mar%20Nazi

1. Grammar Nazi
Someone who believes it's their duty to attempt to correct any grammar and/or spelling mistakes they observe. Usually found hanging around Irc chatrooms hounding "n00bs".

It's part of the "urban dictionary", which just goes to show how incredibly common it is in pop culture it is here.

[mikekey]

Identifying with Nazism is actually illegal in several parts of the world, including our neighbors to the north, Canada. Which is probably why it's not used jokingly in other parts of the world.

Nazi party association and symbolism, incitement of hatred against a segment of the population (Volksverhetzung) and Holocaust denial, are illegal in Germany.

Although American's might see that as "thought crimes", you can also appreciate the historical context for which these laws and cultural taboos have formed.

Wow thank you! That is really crazy how words can be used in different cultures. I have learned today that I was not free from prejudgement.
Really crazy.

And Mike yes you are correct, especially in eastern germany it is a matter of fact that Nazism is present. We have to fight against that and have to respect different cultures. I don´t wan´t my kids growing up in a world of hate, fear and crime. I have grown up in the west part of Berlin City in the american sector and was more than happy to have some US soldiers by my side!

It's the same measurement you made, by butting the tape measure up to the top of the threads. The locking collar just gives an easier thing to grab if you can move it.

Kind of. Youre going to the bottom of both collars, and I was measuring the top of both collars.

Maybe it wasn't clear what I was measuring exactly. I was not going to the bottom (although, that's hard to be clear on, since my picture is upside down). I have the hook of the tape measure grabbing on the mounted-top side of the locking collar, when spun all the way up.

This is how I'm measuring.

So, I'd read your measurement at 4-3/8".

Mine I'd read at 3.5".


Using that method, it shouldn't matter if you're measuring yours by running the locking collar up to the top and pulling tape from it, or jamming the tape end into the shoulder at the top of the threads.

[ErikSS]

ok. So the standard will be from the top of the threads, to the bottom of the adustment ring. Correct?

Or from the top of the threads to the top of the spring. But, yes. It seems to be a good standard to me.

It would be helpful to have a list of heights and spring positions, for future adopters, so we can understand where different positions will put us.

At this point, might make sense to discontinue this particular thread and begin one dedicated to radflo heights and adjustments in the lifts section. This thread has become way too littered.

[DirtyBacon04]

Is there any specific reason you guys are adjusting them once installed? Cause it's very easy to do in a vice. And where are you guys measuring?

I dont have a vice... so this is how I did the initial adjustments on mine.

[ErikSS]

Creative use Bacon! I'm glad my early measurment is being put to use! I will admit, it's a lot of work to adjust it inside the truck.

[Trail X]

How lucky that the bolt pattern fits the hilift!

[KE7WOX]

Well, I opened a can of worms this weekend and closed it again.

The joys of working on an Arizona truck went away when I realized how worn out the bushings were, so now I'm going to order replacement control arms, at least the LCA's, for now, and replace both the LCAs and the shocks at once. So the Radflos are still sitting in my trunk.

[Trail X]

I think there are many of us in the same boat, bushing-wise.

[mikekey]

Guys, for future members and everyone else who purchased, post up your adjustment results here please: http://forums.offroadtb.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4833
