    I have an Icon spanner wrench from when I put Icon coilovers on my first gen. I just ordered the Fox Level 2 kit for my 2019 and was wondering if the Icon spanner will work with the fox coilovers.

    +2 on using a punch. That's what my Kings came with and it works just fine.

    Same with my ADS. Those wrenches are garbage.

    I even managed to bend the end of the thick punch mine came with, but it actually makes it work better.

    I do remember screwing up some of the holes on my Icons with the supplied wrench.

    If you can, try and source one in person at a hardware shop...be easier to see it and make sure it's going to fit the holes in your coilovers. You want it to fit in there snug, if the end of the punch is too small it's not going to work well and might damage the adjustment holes. Also the longer the better, gives you better leverage for turning it.

    It's easy to mess the holes up even with a punch...the coilovers require some strength to turn them when they're on the truck and if you aren't really careful you can easily bend the shape of the holes or worse, strip one...best bet is to loosen the adjustment ring as much as you can without going too far (if the screw pops out you might be in trouble) and spray them down with some PTFE lubricant before hand to help the ring travel up/down on the threads more easily and fluidly.

    Also gotta take care not to go too fast or you can jump threads and that won't be good
