    So I bought 2-inch spacers for my 1st gen Tundra to level it out on new struts that I got just a few hundred miles ago. Upon installation, I can not get my passager side struts to compress so I can reattach the lower ball joint. If I go to use a jack, to jack it on the LCA to try and raise it up so I can install the 4 bolts it just raises the whole truck. I need to compress it a few inches to get the bolts lined up so I can reattach it. The driver's side went on with no problem.

    Put another jack in the opposite corner to put more pressure weight at the corner your trying to get the 4 bolts back into
