If the sway bar and the steering is all unbolted you should be able to fit lift springs in it. Your lower a arm should fall to the ground. Also you didnt need to take off your brakes but whatever floats your boat

DUde there is no way. I need to look at them! You may need to slice half a coil off. Can you get the stockers back in? You didnt use stupid spring compressors did you?

do you have isolators on? take them off, spray a **** load of wd40 on the spring purch and get a pry bar in there and get a budy to lift up the arm while you are using the pry bar to kinda compress the spring a little and prying it in at the same time. it is hard for you because you have the same size springs as stock and not shorter then stock. usually its real easy for people like ben whos went in real easy because his springs were 2 1/2 inches shorter then stock. my steeda sports werent that much shorter so it was pretty hard but i was out there all night and day tryin to get the front ones on. the back ones are the easy ones.
