Lowering front shocks

I had a shop add the paragon springs and lower the car which has front lift system and mag ride.

I now want to raise the car a bit.

WTF. Where are the collar rings that you adjust with the spanner wrench’s? There is a rubber boot at top and at the bottom…. Is there no threaded shock body with collars?

Front lift cars don't have adjustable coilover collars.

Bummer
That’s going to make doing a corner balance difficult.

Your rears are adjustable, assuming you have a Z51.

Paragon has a spacer to raise the front back up just a lil bit. For when you use springs and lowering collars

Typically the springs yield 1" alone and the collars around 3/4" alone. If you're looking to go up, remove the springs and use strictly the collars for a 3/4" drop. However you're going to need to remove the rear springs as well.
