This is how the Autospring leveling kit comes and if you got a different one and they do it any different then i dont know. But from what you were telling me its the bolts that are spinning and you can get in there with a wrench to tighten them bc of the strut tower so therefor they needed to be welded to the leveling kit so they wont spin again and i know thats how the autospring leveling kit comes but its already welded.... hope this helps

Well i just re read it and your taking about the bolts on the strut are spinning freely?

EDIT: is there a way to you a socket and an extension that will run behind the coilover along the shock and the bolts are in sight??? Trying to think here by looking at pictures of my truck bc im in Iraq. I forgot how i did mine lol


You see what im talking about?

the hole problem is i cant get the factory strut bolts loose from the strut tower to put the leveing kit on. the bolts are spinning when you try to loosen the nuts on top and i cant get up into the bottom of the strut to keep from turning. thanks
