Can RoadActive Suspension Leaf Spring be Adjusted With 2022 Ford F-150 on Ground

Question

Question:

Once Ive installed RAS3611-Y on my truck, if I want to adjust the tension say, from 40 to 25, do I need to jack the rear suspension, or can I adjust the tension with the vehicle on the ground?

Hey Rick,

So when adjusting the tension on the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-Y on your 2022 Ford F-150, your truck does have to have the axle hanging freely. You wouldn't be able to have the truck on the ground and make that adjustment.
