HELP! Trying to install rear coil springs.
How do I lower the rear control arm? I am trying to replace the air springs with coil springs, and I can't see how I will be able to fit the coil spring in there without lowering the control arm. I measured 9¾ inches between the top and bottom spring pads, and the length of the spring, including the end of the spring compressor is around 12 inches right now.

Any help is appreciated!
