The picture shows that you can turn the turnbuckle by hand but that's not always the case. I had to get vicegrips on it but it worked perfectly and that was over a year ago!

if you spray some pb blaster, kroil, liquid wrench or the like and then tap around the turnbuckle with a hammer, i think you will find that it'll be much easier to turn.

Default yup

Mine was hard to adjust past a 1/4 turn when I did mine after the lift and the threads looked super clean. But as usual I am going to say WOL is right there must be dirt/dust/crud whatever in the turnbuckle because I WD-40'd as much as I could on it and turned it clock wise and ccw a few times and away she went. I used a pipe wrench to turn mine but I'm a gas plant operator so I use a pipe wrench for everything. Good luck.
