Default Ride height adj

The shop manual for the 06 gives a plus or minus .745" for the spring adjuster bolts, front and rear. Due to koni shock inst. , I would have to exceed that .745" to get back to original ride height. Any known issues with running the adj. bolts past their specs.? Thanks in advance.......

The plus or minus refers to the approximate adjustment that is possible, meaning that is the most you can turn the bolts in either direction.
Why would changing shocks change the ride height that much (.745)?

The .745" is the specified range, the possible range is aprox. triple that. The ride height change due to replacing high pressure shock with a low pressure shock. Looking for someone with alignment experience that may have encountered this. Can the adj. bolts tolerate an adj. past that specification ? thanks..........

My Z-51 needed 2 turns on the front bolts and 1 1/2 turns on the rear bolts to restore OEM ride height after Koni FSD install.
