Alright I have some questions for y'all who are still reading this thread. I bought strut spacers from Brandon in Cali and he shipped them to me about 2 weeks ago. I have been waiting to put them in and was going to this weekend. I went and got a quote from goodyear who was going to charge me $285 to put all 4 in. I thought that was a little ridiculous so I left and put the back 2 on myself. I went back to goodyear to put the fronts on bc it would be cheaper than off 4 of course. He worked on it for 3 hours and i watched him try to do it. He couldnt fit the 2.5" spacer on top of the strut and get it back in position bc "it was to much lift for my suspension". ?? I told him all he had to do was remove the bolt connecting the lower control arm to have some "give" to install the strut back in position and he told me that it would mess it up. I looked at several videos on the installation process and everyone of them took apart the lower control arm. I think i am going to try it myself. What are yalls opinions?

i disconnected the upper balljoint from the steering knuckle, and disconnected everything else the write up said, left the lower strut mount bolt (the one that connects the strut to the lower control arm) on. put my foot on the lower control arm, and my shoulder inside the wheel well and tried to stand up. it gave me enough leverage to swing the strut with the spacer into place. goodluck man! oh and i installed the front spacers by myself, nobody around to help
