No just moar powar

Did you loosen the allen bolt that tightens the collar? Are you using the coilover wrench correctly. With a little elbow grease you should have no problem moving the collar up even with the coilovers on the car.

Brute force! That's what I had to do. Hit the threads with some WD-40. Might help.

It wasn't that hard. You should start working out.

Make sure the threads are clean, like mentioned above use some WD-40. They shouldn't be THAT hard to turn but if they are, get your girlfriend to help

Take off the top nut, jack up the chassis, raise the perch, carefully lower the chassis, tighten nut. That's as high as you'll get without any extra preload.
