Can't fit new air strut suspension no clearance
So like the title sais, the old air strut comes out no problem since it holds zero pressure and compresses all the way in.. the new strut however is fully extended w/ all of my body weight I can't get it to compress at all.. So w/ that said how do I get this thing installed ? Any hints or tips ? Thank You.

Have you tried pushing down on the lower control arm while installing the strut?

Either get better leverage or loosen the lower control arm.

You've got a pretty good stretch on that brake hose.

If you disconnect the sway bar link, it will make your life easier.
