Question Compression Adjuster ***** On Suspension

I'm going to be picking up some shocks here in the next month or so. For an additional cost I can get them with compression adjusters.
I'm torn on whether or not I should get the adjusters.
My question is for those of you that have them:
-Have you found that you utilize them very much?
-Are you glad you have them even if you don't utilize them often?
-Do you wish you would have just saved some money and didn't get the adjusters?
-Also I'd be curious to know how you prefer to set them for different scenarios such as: daily driving, going slow on dirt roads, going fast on dirt roads, etc.

You better post that on the Raptor forum, brother. I'd be surprised if anybody here actually has adjustable shocks, but could be wrong .

I have the icon 2.5’s with CDCV and run them at full soft as my truck never leaves the streets.

I'm on the cheaper side with RanchoQuickLift coilovers with the adjustment. I went from softest to firmest, and noticed just a slight difference, LOL, don't recall where they're set at the moment. Doubt if I'd have spent more for them, 95% street though.

I had the Rancho Quick Lift on my old 2004 F-150. With those ones there really isn't much of a difference between the settings and to reach the adjuster is kind of a pain, I'm pretty sure I set them on the middle setting and never touched them again. Yeah, I think those come standard with the dial too.

The one's I'm lookin at getting are the King 2.5 and the adjuster is on the reservoir and access to it is much easier.... and I'm assuming with a higher quality product the adjustments might actually make a difference.

I'm actually surprised that so few people have given their input on the subject. There really isn't much real world info of this, I kind of figured that it would be a great subject matter.

I run adjustable shocks on every truck I buy. You can’t beat the ability to dial in the exact ride quality you want.
