You have to loosen the 1st big nut and then the preload will go into the body by tightening, or out of the body by loosining. Then tighten down the big nut to lock the preload down.

The 3rd nut away from the damper body is the jam nut for the length of the damper.

your 3rd nut is my 1st? LOL

ADDENDUM 1: For those of you with BOTH the KMS and MLS bar, you will need to remove the KMS bar ONLY, and if possible reroute the ac line until installation is complete....You will not be able to use a 3inch extension without rerouting. You can do it w/o a reroute, but double the install time if left in place. Everything will fit when complete, although it's quite tight and a definite knuckle buster.

Go ahead and pay the extra $$$ and get the "upgraded kit" with the extra appendage from RangerJoe, (wasn't included in the basic model) as three hands will make it easier, and the "knuckle busting" can be applied to the aforementioned "extra appendage".

Oil and water don't mix, but oil and blood certainly do.
