I got the crap industries lift and the rear set went in easy enough. The fronts, however....

I got a strut compressor but theres not enough room to work with it in there since the top of the struts are recessed so far up. I haven't tried disconnecting the balljoints and tie rod ends yet but that's probably my next step...

Any ideas? I was hoping to not have to tear apart too much of the suspension for this

 

So I just finish installing my lift. I was in the same boat at that point. Since you bolt the 2in spacer you don't have enough room to get the strut in. The trick is to compress the spring before putting the assembly in.
1) Line the three bolts on top and put the nuts on. Keep it loose.
2) push the strut in.( your gonna need some help with this part as the spring can move around).
3) with a little muscle and luck it should slide right in.


Let me know if you have any question, I'll try to explain as best as I can.
