Going up the climb up

[zakerya1]

CTSCOTT This is what i was concerned about i mocked the bottom of the strut to the top mount.i didnt go as high as you did.It looks like the axel is going to rub against the bottom bar.Does the axel move up a little as i lower the car with the jack then mount the stableizer bar?

The axle moves up quite a bit when the weight of the front compresses the strut. That does mean that if you get the front tires to completely leave the ground that some axle rubbing will occur (when you're doing the Dukes of Hazard jumps). When you lower the car off the the jack or lift, as soon as the tire touches the ground the axle clears the plate below.

CTSCOTT I got the driver side lifted ok,but iam having trouble with the other side.the axle wont go down far enough to mount the strut because its hitting the a arm.Did you have that problem? do i have to compress the strut or something

I compressed the springs to make it easier to line things up.
