Hello Mike Welcome to the forum. The adjusments are fairly simple. The fronts are the toughest and I found you need to relieve some pressure from the spring by inserting a block or jack between the aframe and sring to allow the bolt to turn freely but to do these turn the bolt counter clockwise to lengthen it above the a frame. The rears Just loosen the Nut to leave 3 threads at the top of the bolts. Thats all there is to it,
