After cutting out the OEM shocks, then removing the stock springs I can't now get the replacement springs to fit. I have removed the rear drop links, disconnected the rear sway bar but still can't get enough room to install the new rear springs. I am going stock 105 rear springs with no lift, they new springs are exactly the same height as the old ones but I still need about 5 or so inches more drop to be able to get the new springs in place. The brake line is at the limit of extension. I have even tried the evil spring compressors but they won't compress enough. I've done the 'jack up the other side' technique but no better.
All the online explanations never mention the rear bump stops which the spring fits over. If that wasn't there then it would be close - but I can't get enough angle to get the spring to fit over the rubber stop and get close to seating on the isolator and upper mount. Have other people removed that bump stop? Does it just press into the upper mount?
