Coil Spring Install

[Crimson66]

I try to work through this what should be simple Install. I cannot figure out how to line the Spring up to the upper retainer clip... you know two bolts . I can get one in and cant quiet line up the other one. I even have the whole thing stripped to the bare frame, easy access. how do you guys get this in? any ideas or techniques or just lots of swearing.

There's some good info in the tech section under suspension I believe. I used it and worked great.

I've had to get it lined up first with longer bolts. Once both bolts are in, replace them with the correct ones.
