Robert;
The only thing that I can think of off the top of my head is that you may have
assembled the front spring pan on TOP of the lower control arms. The correct
way to install the spring and pan is to compress the pan/spring as a unit from
the bottom and use the nyloc nuts to secure it. It seems that you may have
inadvertently installed the lower control arms upside down as well. Good luck
and let me know how it turns out.
