Fixed lowers and adj. upper CA instal

[Jackrabbit41]

I'm having s hard time putting in my fixed lower control arms. I got both stock ones off, but I can't get the new ones on because the axle isn't rotated right and it's too far to the right. I can get the rotation right with a ratchet strapped hooked onto bumper but the axle won't move left to right. When I try pullin on it, it starts pullin the whole truck off the jack stands. Here's pics.

With the trackbar attached, the axle only moves left and right as it's moving respectively down and up. Try putting a jack under it, see what happens.

Thanks got the lowers in now workin on uppers. I think after all this my wheel base will be about 1- 1.5 inches longer

Next time do one side at a time with the wheels on the ground. I found that way to be a lot easier.

That may not apply if you're changing control arm length? But worth a shot I guess.

It's all done but the fixed lowers were longer so I had to remove wheels and use ratchet straps to twist and turn the axle. But it's all done now and I love how they look and function
