Front suspension problem
Ok so I lowered the front cradle to get the oil pan off and now I cannot get the control arms back up because the leaf spring will not flex enough? Am I missing something here? It lowered fine but now I don’t know how the hell im going to get the suspension connected back up. Thanks.

yeah that didn’t work, would literally lift the car off the lift. Tried lowering it down as well nothing. It could possibly be due to the car having everything out of the front for the head/cam swap so it is quite light.
