From what I can gather by a Google search, it's about 1/2 inch per turn...may be wrong though...most people I see are saying they got 2" out of 4 turns.

can be different. mark the bolts.crank down 1 turn. take a drive. come back and measure on level surface both sides. one side might be a little different from the other. donnt trust just turning them without measuring.

This, Don't forget to jack the front up so the wheels are off the ground before uncranking them too.

Oh I know that, trust me I cranked them up, it was already a PITA with the wheels up, can't even imagine if they had weight on them
