DF Vibrato Adjustment with or without tension?

[MJ Slaughter]

I had to take the bridge apart and after putting back together its a bit too high. Would you make adjustments to the height with the string/spring tension or do I need to loosen everything up? I don't want to damage the blades.

I'd slacken the strings evenly a bit ( maybe drop evrything down 3 semitones ) if I'm
adjusting the bridge posts. The steps in the setup procedures help so that you you don't have to
redo procedures,I've been there.
... it's in the gallery I believe.
Odd that what I'm listening to is this and it just hit the 25:41 mark

coool!!!

I have made minor adjustments to the bridge posts while under tension, but certainly adjusting them with the strings slack is the best way.
