The insructions for the spacer kit I have says to drop the lower control arm to install the spacer adove the strut. Will a strut compressor compress the strut the 3" in need ? or does the CA have to be droped for sure? If so are there any special instruction on droping it and reinstalling?Thanks in advance and many thanks for all the info I get from all of you.It helps alot
Thanks again :?:

You must drop the Lca then take the strut out to compress it.

Which kit? I did my Daystar and removed the struts by undoing the swaybar bolt, the upper ball joint, and removing the clevis.

I never removed the LCAs. Of course, I DID get fancy with pry bar and spring compressors putting the longer strut back in the front.

The trick is putting the lower clevis bolt back in. I used a spring compressor on the LCAs and clevis and tightened them to pull the eyelets into alignment, ran the bolt through, then tightened it all up.
