Coilover spanner tool

[CalSgt]

What is the best tool for adjusting the preload nut on King coilers? Is there a special tool for the timing rings, or do I just use a chisel?

I just ordered the EVO Long Arm Coilover kit for my JL, I think they are 2.5" coilovers if that makes a difference. I want to have something for initial setup & to keep in the jeep in case an adjustment needs to be made on the fly.

Yeah King makes a tool. Flat head screwdriver and hammer on the rings. 1” above the slider in the front and 2” in the rear.

Thanks Bubba... I'll get one of those coming.

Not sure on King, but on Fox coilovers I've always used a 5/16" punch; fits the holes perfectly, and for some applications it gives you more room to work with over a spanner wrench (i.e. coil bucket or remote res hose getting in the way). If I need more leverage, I put a wrench or tube or something on the end of the punch.
