The bolt on the shock bracket that is supposed to mount to the Mega Bite Jr. Braket does not go the full length for me to put the nut on WTH? It's not supposed to be that way is it?

Ok, New problem. (I'm taking my time)

The hole for the control arm and the bracket don't line up and I can't figure out how to line them up. I've tried what I can think of Suggestions?

When I did mine, and yes they are HPM megabite(awesome arms by the way), I used a bottle jack to push the control arm up(compresses the spring) and I used a come together (same as a chain jack just with a cable) to pull the axle foreward to the control arm, since it fell backwards. By adjusting both the jack and the come together, I was able to line the holes right up with no drama.
I hope you are doing one side at a time....

Looks like you have to move the rear end forward a bit (pivot on the upper control arms kinda thing), have you tried that yet?

The arms arn't adjustable, so you'll just have to play with it until they line up (assuming you have the brackets on right, and not upside down?).

I put in my megabite jr lowers and dbl adj uppers when i swapped rearends. It looks like if you jack the rearend up i think the holes will line up, easiest way is the take out the spring and put the jack under the rear and move the lca by hand. Looking at how the spring isnt even on the lca yet it looks like it has to go up aways, hopefully its an easy solution, mine were great quality and work even better well worth the money.
