Need Help with leveling kit.
Hey,
My dad and i just put 2 inch blocks with new shocks on the back of my truck and we tried to put a 2 inch leveling kit on the front springs but we took everysingle nut off and we could not get the spindle and rotor off of the a arms. Has anyone had this problem or can anyone help me. Cause we just put all the nuts back on and just installed the shocks but we would like to put the leveling kit on cause the truck looks kinda like a drag car right now.
Thanks,
Patrick

Need more info on your truck 2x4, 4x4?
Why do you have to remove the spindle to put the spring spacer?
I thought spacers go on the top of the spring and you can just remove old shocks, lift the frame of the vehicle and insert the spacer between spring and the farme mount. Put the shocks back in and you should be done. Again this is in the case of 4x4.
I don't know what you have to do for the 2x4.
Hope someone else can help in this case

are you trying to get the spring out? if so be careful, you should get spring depressors so be on the safe side.
ok,(put spring depressors on the springs, or not, safe with) loosen up the upper joint ball nut ( not all the way off) support the lower control arm, then put a joint fork between the upper control arm and the top of the spindle (were the bottom half of the ball joint is) hit the fork in till the spindle is free, then with the lower control arm supported, take ball joint off al the way, remove the shock just the lower blot to the lower control arm. then lower the lower control arm with a jack. the spring should be free, then put the spacer on the spring...... ... please please be careful the spring can be very harmful because it has weight on it. good luck i hope this helps. tell us how it goes...

i also already rented a spring compressor from advanced auto parts and it goes on the inside of the spring. my dad and i were hitting it pretty hard and we didnt get any movement but we will try again. thanks for the help hopefully we can get around to it before it gets cold.

use this. i installed my spacers on my 2wd a week ago and used these more than the instructions that came with the spacers. pictures help a lot. and the pittman arm puller works really well, although i was able to get the puller on the tie rod end. harbor freight has the puller for 7 bucks. couldnt have done this without it
