    Hi all. First post here ever! I tried searching but was unsuccessful.

    I am installing Rancho Quick Lift's on my 99 4x4 Tacoma. The instructions made it sound like they would just slip right in, but they are not. They are a little longer then the position of the LCA is at. What is the proper course of action to get these on? Is there a easy way to elevate the tension on the LCA? Sorry if this is a really basic question. I'm no expert here.

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    Normally you can get them in using a long pry bar between the LCA and the bump stop. Be careful of your CV boot.

    Thank you sir. That helped. I also loosened the top control arm. Another suggestion I received.
