After i couldn't make it work i had a buddy of mine give it a go who specializes in custom lifts and fabrication. He tried for hours and concluded there flat out wasn't enough lwr control arm movement to make it work. The strut/fork assy is bound against the drive axle with 1" still to go!! Then, even if somehow you were able to pry it together, how would you ever service your susp?? There is some speculation that Monroe struts (brand i purchased) are bigger than stock but i ain't buyin it. Unfortunately i tossed my old struts before the problem so i have nothing to compare to. So like my wife always says, I guess I'll have to settle for 3" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
