How do I adjust the suspension like I was told?

Well you guys said that I can adjust the suspension on the GXL But you didn't tell me if I had to take thoughs shocks out. Can I do the turning from the strut towers? I need to know.
peace,
Charles

Your GXL should have something called AAS. Flick the button near the ebrake

to manually adjust each shock, remove the dust cover or whatever it's called. You'll be dealing with the TOP of the shock, for the rears you'll need to remove the speakers to get to it. remove the AAS controller thing held on with 2 bolts, do a quick check to see which way the aas controller moves when going from normal mode to sport mode and use needle nose pliars to adjust accordingly. I made mine stiffer by about 180 degrees more than what sport mode starts at.

sorry about the delays

yes it works my old 136xxx mile aas shocks are as stiff as kyb agx's at about their middle/soft setting.

I'm not sure how far you can go with it though.
