    I was installing a leveling kit and when I went to reinstall the shock, the bottom wouldn't line up with the mount. Took spacer off and now OEM shock won't fit back in truck. The lower part is about 90 degrees off. I'm wondering when I was torquing the spacer nuts I inadvertently rotated the shock inside the coil? I had placed a screwdriver in the lower portion to keep the shock from rotating while I torqued the nuts. Maybe with the reverse pressure I rotated it? Any answers on how I can fix this? Thanks.
