Here is what it looks like. I measured it before it was 37. After 40 1/2

wow that is high for just bilsteins on stockers i was that tall on 35's if i remember right. for you sake i sure hope that don't come apart

It should make it to the shop as long as I take her easy.

 

[gibby252006]

Do you think I might need new upper control arms since they just spin?

 

[ATOM]

the ball joint will spin, thats why you need to hold the stud with the 10mm wrench as you tighten the 21mm nut

Oh lawd..driving with upper BJ threaded once or twice is not great idea man. Jack the LCA up to close the difference between the uca and spindle, then take the top portion of your floor jack handle and pry the upper BJ tight so you can tighten the nut. You don't have a spacer in there still do you? 40.5" is a lot on stockers...
