we're going to try that but the top bushing won't stay up there so it's hardokc2KGT said:try putting the spring on the control arm first; then put the upper isolator in place (not on spring) and then you should be able to push it in to place. this may help. it worked for me although my springs drop an extra half inch.
good luck

We ended up doing that. We had tried pry baring it in but not while we had spring compressors on. So we did that. Finally, after like 3 hours of struggling in the rain and dark (it's freaking hard) we got ONE side done. The rear is totally done. Took 5 minutes for the passenger rear side today.bowens99GT said:From what I remember is that I put the top of the spring in first and at the bottom I used a crowbar and put somehow put it somewhere on the spring and put the end of crowbar in the hole in the a arm. then I pulled or pushed like a mother and even kicked and I got that SOB in.....the back was harder for me. I kinda did the same thing there. Let the axle down as far as it would go and I had a friend push down on the axle while I budged the spring into place....I couldnt use my isolators......wouldnt have fit at all.

Thanks for the tips you guys. We had absolutely no trouble getting my roomate's C springs in, why was it so difficult for me? We literally pushed gently and it went in.
