I am stuck and waiving the white flag for help.....I am installing a RC 2" front lift kit on my 88 GMC 1500 2wd which consists of new coil springs and a ball joint spacer. I replaced the upper control arm assy and installed the ball joint spacer. I am trying to put the new springs in and I am stuck....
BTW- the coil springs look to be the same size as the factory ones that came out;
I have compressed the spring, but I can't get it to cede properly in the lower control arm; The lower control arm lowered and sagging at an angle, so I can't get the spring into place. I have tried putting it in as far as I can, and then jacking up the control arm, but the spring won't slide into place.
Am I missing something? Do I need to compress the spring more? I feel like I had it compressed a lot, but maybe I could go more. How do I get it into the proper place on the lower control arm so that I can raise it and connect everything back?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
