OK any advice on installing 3" lift spacer?
We tried to install Tai Mai Shu's RC 3" lift but we could not get the lower shock eye over the lip on the LCA for nothing. Threes guys strong arming this thing.
Here is some details, replace stock shock with TRD's w strut spring. Got the spring in with out removing the tie rod VIA screwing method. Got strut in place.
Placed the space on top of strut. Got top into place, got the nuts on (barely biting). THEN we could not get that lower shock eye over that little lip on the LCA where the lower shock get bolted up. We could not get the spring compress enough to make it over that little lip. All we need was 1/4 to 1/2 of strut to compress to make it over.
Was we going something wrong? Did we missed something? Or did we did not eat our Wheaties?
Before trying Tai we did BKW's OME 883 springs on his Bilstein strut and that went smoothly.
