Why is my Lower control arm not lowering. Removing shocks No spring compressor

They work well. Imo carbide teeth would have made short(er) work of the bolts when I had to cut 3 of 4 out.
Found out later that Milwaukee makes a carbide sawzall blade.
It's all good because it's all done.

 

Front shocks installed OME 884 and bilstein 5100,

 

make sure to loosen the UCA bolt at ride height, bounce the truck a few times and re-tighten.

 

okay will do that

 

Anytime I see a mention of cam bolts I try to drop this link. Can't stress how important it is to catch this early. Unless you enjoy cutting them out

planning to go with aftermarket lca.

 

Got my rear 5125 biltstein put in. And deavers f85 mini 3 leaf put in. All done for now

 

If you do, consider replacing the bj. I got Dorman lca's and the bjs were shot after 15K; I replaced them with Mevotech's. The bushings are holding up but, after that experience, I would not trust the bjs on any aftermarket lca's.

 

i got the dirt king lca in the group buy. 25% off was too good to turn down.
