'98 Sport, standard suspension. We're trying to install an RC 4.5, but the lift itself is irrelevant at this point...
- Shocks removed
- Sway bar disconnected
- Spring retainers removed
- Brake lines have plenty of slack
All of this is done, and we let the axle droop....only, it doesn't. It falls down just to where the tension is almost gone from the springs. We can't get the factory springs out, much less put in springs 4.5" longer. There are no tight lines, and there is no interference with any other parts. We can push down - hard - on the end of the axle, and it doesn't even budge.
In the words of Hank Hill, "What the hell, Bobby!" Any idea on what the heck is going on here?
