im installing the cornfed 3 inch suspension lift. i have the whole strut assembly all bolted up except for 2 of the bolts on the spacer on top. it is out of alignment but just a little bit not allowing the last 2 bolts to get threaded in . any idea on how to fix this???
thanks

 

Put the top 3 bolts in first , then twist the bottom to line up???

 

the strut assembly is already on the truck. the spacer and strut give me very very little room to get the bottom bolt in place; it was a pain in the a**, so i was wondering if there is any other way around it without having to take out the whole assembly.

Sometimes the process is a bit of an exercise in juggling. The first one I did, we had to take it apart a couple of times before we got everything lined up such that all the bolts would go in. It gets easier with each set you install, unfortunately, most folks do one set and are done

 

Little late now but I did post a tip several months back.

I cut some bolts down to make studs with the same thread as the tapped hole in the spacer.

Inserted the studs into the tapped holes in the spacer finger tight (with some anti-sieze for good measure ) then used the studes to allign the top plate easily.

I then backed out the studs by hand, one at a time, and replaced with the correct bolts...
