    I just installed toytec coilovers in my 2007 Tacoma. I'm having trouble connecting the Lower Control Arm to the the Spindle. With the longer coil and shock, the angle of the Lower Control Arm is too steep to line up with the spindle. I've tried putting a jack under the control arm but it lifts the whole truck. I'm assuming a coil compressor is the only way to get the correct angle and get the control arm close to the spindle. Any other ideas or tricks?

    You can loosen the upper control arm bolt to allow the UCA and spindle to droop down more. Sometimes the bushings don't allow everything to move.
