As you can see on my second gen this strut is to damn big but I want to make it fit it will total as a 9.5 inch lift. All said and done I had the idea to compress it to make it fit but I’m scared it will destroy my lower control arm as it decompresses.

I'm not a rocket scientist, but that's not gonna work. Needs moar drop brackets.

Edit: If you want more lift maybe, just maybe can add a spindle lift to your 6" spacers.

might be dumb enough to work but I did get the bolt in without disassembly I do have a spring compressor as well so I might jam it in there and compress the spring enough to get the knuckle to reach extended upper control arm
