I was followign the instructions and everything was going well until i got to the step where you pull out the strut assembly. I just coudl not get it to clear the upper tower. And it wasn;t even close. I could feel up there with my finger and tell I was a good 1-1.25 inches short. Realizing even if I coudl pop it out somehow, how could I realistically get it back in with the additional length of the level kit. I ended up just putting everything back together and I will either try again another day or have somebody do it for me. Does anybody have any tips? I am a novice mechanic (at 41 no less). Just taking auto mechanics as a hobby, so I could have missed something. Maybe I could have pulled down on that lower arm more to get the assembly to clear, but I was afraid I may have done something wrong. At that point I thought it best to button it up and seek some advice.
