California Exclusive suspension lift - suggestions?

[sidepod]

Hi,

I have tried to raise mine after fitting larger tyres and there is very little room in the front to get a spanner on the torsion nuts, and they are very very very tight at stock height, mine started moving but would have taken ages to move it up as you can only get around 10mm movement before your spanner hits the heater

You need to soak them with WD40 for a week of so.

Forget a spanner. Use a deep 27mm 3/4 drive socket with the biggest breaker bar you can find.

Or, use heat in the nut prior to moving it.
If you do this make a heat shield so as not to damage the fuel tank.

They are too far up as stock to use a deep socket spanner is the only option i found
