Default leveling kit BullSh**t

omg, i hate coil springs lol i went through the same thing with my stang when i put bigger springs in it. i cant lower my axle far enough down to put the spring and spacer in there. how do you guys do it? i had a jack inbetween the frame and the axle. it dosnt move anymore. i think ill just go get the springs banded. thats the easiest.

wat have you guys done to get them in there?

im not playing the prybar game, i lost today and got my knuckle stuck between the coil spring and the seat. OUCH! F***K

when you shove down on one side the other side will go up and tilt enough to get it in. I'm assuming that you have taken the sway bar loose and the shocks off. I had to grab the fender and push down with my foot. Get a buddy that has more a$$. It may be neccessary to loosen the control arm bushings to allow them to drop easier. Try the rear first. Just if you mess with the one that has the eccentric, make sure you mark it and put back in same spot. My 3" spacers were still on the mark as far as that adjustment when aligned.

i guess you didnt understand the question.withyour 3' suspention lift did you have to put a longer tracbar on or the ext.braket for tracbar,and did you have to put longer control arms on.

No track bar change. The kit came with new lower arms for strength but the same length. Here is the original kit on mine.

Unbolting the trac bar will let the axle droop lower too.
Unbolting the lower control arm will allow more too but I didn't need to do this.
I'm still using the factory trac bar and mount. I was able to align it ok but the front wheels are shifted slightly to the Left side.
