Skunk Coilover Issues

On my passenger side front coilovers, I've raised it 3 times already and when I finish I could stick just about my whole hand from the well to the tire but after a while from driving it's back to rubbing and somehow I think it's getting lower? Not sure exactly what's going on, the other coils aren't having any issues. My rims are getting tore up, would it be something else? or is my coilover failing. It doesn't look like anythings wrong with it.

sounds like its not locking when you adjust it to the height you are setting it at. Inspect the threads on it see if any are stripped or damaged.

I think the worst one I saw was a cheaper egay coilover that stripped clean all the threads lol, spring let go and hit the brake line causing a pretty messy deal.
