problem installing passenger LCA

ok..drivers side came off with a little bit of muscle, went on simple. Kool that ones done. The bolts on passenger side were easier then the drivers to un-bolt. Now after i got the old LCA off i put the new one up...the back end i bolted on then went to bolt the front end of the LCA on...wait there likes 2" from the LCA bracket to the end of the LCA..wtf? is it just the body is sitting lower on that side or something? what gives? What should i do to bolt that end in?

i believe the rear has shifted on you. try a jack, pry bar, or a pull chain to move it forward to where you can get the bolts to go in.

Yeah, my rear shifted quite a bit as well. At least you did one at a time. Crowbar is what I used to line up the bolts and bolt hole. Just make sure you don't bend anything important on the chassis.
