Marks 2.5in issue

[03envoy]

I was installing marks lift yesturday, and I had an issue with the .5in spacer going in and cause the arm that is between the lower and upper control arms that supports the wheel hitting the moog spring. I can install the 2in spacer without much trouble. When I put the top spacer on the ball joint is a bit*h toget on. I figured I may have to flip the UCA's but how can other people run the lift without doing that? My question to you is what can I do to install the .5in spacer in without that arm rubbing...?? Thanks

That "arm" is called the spindle or the upright. Take your pick.

It always rubs like that before it's assembled. After it's assembled everything is fine. You'll find the spring sits close but it doesn't rub.

So After everything is assembled its fine? So at full extention its going to hit the spring until the weight is put on the Spindle? So its normall that the ball joint is a bitch to get on and There is stress that I shouldnt worry about on the ball joint? lol sorry for all the stupid newbie Q's.

Compressing the suspension makes getting the upper arm back on easier.
