Have OME 2885 coils with 5100's se at 0 and have the new strut in place but when I go to Jack the lower control arm up the shock won't compress? Why won't it compress? As in the truck is lifting

Can you lower the weight of the truck down on the assembly instead of raising the strut assembly up?

Arent you supposed to install the strut assembly in place first and leave the lower control arm last?

I did it the way OP is doing it when I installed mine. Mine went right on up though, so I'm not sure why yours isn't.
