Shortly after buying the LX, I stuck some King springs in the rear to bring the pressures back down for towing. During the King springs install, I cranked the torsion bars a couple times but ultimately put them on the back burner. Fast forward 2 years later... Spent about 2 hours yesterday dialing in the front pressures. Gave the AHC system a good workout in the process. Ended up cranking them (twenty one) (quarter) turns over the course of the 2 hours. (or a little over 5 full turns)

I got the front end to consistently hit 6.7. I know that the desired numbers are 6.8-6.9. Will 0.1 make a difference? Do these numbers look healthy otherwise?

Looks perfect. Rear is a little light on pressure, but if you're going to add a little weight you should be just fine.

If you're never going to add weight, you could give yourself a small sensor lift (~.5" or something) to help move that rear pressure a little.
 
Looks good to me. I'm a little lower on pressure than that and I still ride fine.
 
Thanks guys!

@suprarx7nut Rears are lower because I put King springs in for towing. From what I've seen on here, seeing 5 or so in the rears is on par with others with Kings.

Yes, you're right. I have Kings. Before I added armor, I installed the King springs and rear pressures were around 5. Perfectly safe, but you might not get all the dynamic comfy response out of the AHC system because the springs are carrying more of the load than intended. If you want to dial it in any further, you can tweak that pressure, but otherwise enjoy as it sits!
