Shock removal help.

I'm putting on me fox coil overs and currently have a level kit on. I can't get the lca low enough to get the shock out. Any advice?

Make sure you disconnect the sway bar it's a pain but use a pry bar make sure you leave the nuts on the old strut at the top

Torsion bar? Maybe you're thinking about the bushings' resistance to flexing perhaps?
