I am a mechanical novice, so go easy on me. I am working on installing a RRO Rockfather 2 lift and A arms (I know, first mistake :| ). My buddy and I got everything off and we put the pre-assembled strut in. We put the strut fork on and it looks like the strut fork just goes way too low to ever bolt the bottom to the lower control arm. We tried loosening the control arm, but it didn't help. The only possible way it looks like it would fit is if we had a spring compressor. Also the strut seemed to be almost touching the CV boot, this looked concerning. I am wondering if I got the wrong parts or am missing some trick here.

Did you take upper control arm off at ball joint,sway bar end links so the lower control arm can drop .

Pics would be helpful if you can, basically what your saying is the shock and coil seem to long and you would need to compress it to get it to bolt?

Rachet straps
two of them , one of each leg of the clevis
hook near the bottom of the legs and pull them right in, yes it may look like it won't go but they will, never even have to loosen the LCAs
I'd send their UCAs back and get some good ones from JBA though
