rear spring install help needed
Hi, I'm in a bit of a pickle... I'm doing the v and b spring swap and have 3 corners done. The passenger rear is being a royal pain in the butt, though. We cannot get the stud on the bottom of the spring to drop into the hole in the spacer block. On the driver's side, we were able to just jack up the axle until it popped into place. On the pass side, though, we have taken it up as high as the jack will go and it still won't drop in. It is aligned properly side-to-side, but the stud is about 1/2 inch forward of the hole in the spacer block.
Does anyone have any tricks for getting these guys to line up? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

You should still have everything loose on the other side and should be able to just move the axle to line up the holes. You should have play also in your spring also because of you shackle.
