I just put some lift coils on and i bought some new fixed length lower control arms and i just tried to put them in and this happened:





another question, Does the bend go on the axle side or the frame side of the mount?

Looks like you do! How much did you lift? You could also just get a trackbar relocation bracket, to move your trackbar over.

Looks like you have the CA bends right. Unhook your trackbar and see what happens.

SOrry for the double post but i cannot get the bolt out of the axle side at all, Not evne my impact will get it loose.

Is there just too much pressure on it (i think there is) Which side would i have to pull it to get the pressure off? Sorry this is a pretty noob question but im kinda stuck on what to do.

no to get the conrolarm bolt in after you get the track bar off, impact are not as strong as people thing use a ratchet and cheater bar on the bolt and push down on the cheater bar from pass side
