    Anyone got any tips on this? This kit is kicking my ass today. 5 hours on one side ( 1/3 of that looking for right size tools :mad:)

    Gotten to reassembly part and now the shock is not lining up with the lca. I have removed the skid plate and loosened the lca so it swings freely but it seems the shock is pulling out further than it was prior. Not wanting to put a ton of pressure on the shock itself

    Do have a picture?

    The LCA is going to be tough to line up. Get a pry bar and pull down on the UCA, it will take some force... if I am envisioning what you are saying.

    I have had to bull-pin struts to get them on without damaging the strut mount.

    You did all the hard work already: loosened LCA, disconnected the sway bar, lower ball joint and even the tie rod....It should pop right into the LCA. Did you already tighten any of the 4 nuts on top of coilover? Ive done that before and I couldn’t get the assembly into the bottom, loosened them up and all was good.

    And don’t reverse the coilovers, there is a specific left and right ones.
