Yes. Relieves all weight. They're the springs, you're cranking the weight of the truck when you do that.

Make sure to keep tracks of the number of turns you make.

Ok thanks. Im going to crank them all the way and see how much movement i get from stock. Then lower them back to normal and buy blocks for the rears so it will all be level.

I wouldn't crank them all the way. Just a little at a time. Make sure to go up and down the street before you measure. Just to make sure everything moves and goes back to where it should be.
