Default Adjusting my Konis.... adjust while suspension unloaded or no?

As it says.... can I jack the front end up to adjust my Konis or does the suspension need to be loaded (on the ground)?

Same with the rears?

Thanks!

I adjust my fronts by jacking up the front and reaching my arm between the wheel and fender well (after the car is on jackstands, of course). I have 4th gen rears, so the **** is on top of the shock, meaning I don't have to jack up the rear to adjust them.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

For some reason I thought I had to adjust the fronts with the suspension loaded... which would be a major PITA.

I have the 4th gen rear too... piece of cake to adjust.

Thanks again.
