Leveling kit installation problems
 

I can't get the strut back in the truck after putting the leveling spacer on. I can get the top in and bolts on, I just need to get the lower portion back in the A-Frame. Any suggestions ?

I don't have any pics I forgot to take some.

what kit are you putting in? I used a prybar on mine It was a booger but finally slipped in. Mine was a HBS 2".

A off brand one called Heavy Metal from eBay.
I didn't choose it. My wife snagged it for me without me knowing. Also 2" I'll have to get a prybar tomorrow and give it another go.

They look pretty decent for a off brand set.

The Autosping kit recommends using a bottle jack between the LCA and the upper strut tower.

It took both my buddy and me and a long pry bar to get my 2" kit installed. It was a pain.

Do they have a website with instructions ?
I would love to read them. The instructions that came with this level only told you what tools you need and torque specs.

Thanks , I'll give this a try tomorrow.

Not current but pretty much the same

Is this the driver's side? I did a 2" AS a few weeks back. Passenger side took maybe 40 minutes. The driver's side, which I did second, took at least twice as long. Watch that brake line if you use the bottle jack, it will stretch to scary lengths and noises. What took so long was figuring out exactly where to place the bottle jack so it would stay put and effectively "spread" everything wide enough.

I was surprised how easily the ball joints went back together. That used to be the toughest part, maybe I fit better in these wheel wells to push down on the arm.
