I’m having trouble getting enough thread to start the upper ball joint nut. Presumably because the springs aren’t compressed but am I missing something?
Using Alan American semi-coilovers, MOOG ball joints and the older Chevy tubular upper a-arms many folks have had success installing. Factory lower a-arms.
Any tips on how to compress these 550lb. springs on a bare frame? The coilovers are set to their lowest rise height.
Used ratchet straps attached to the bottom of the jack then wrapped them around the frame. When the jack arm went up the straps pulled down on the frame providing the needed spring compression.
