you need to drop back axel, you can either do it by undoing the top of the shockers and as you jack it up more it should lower, or undo the bottom bolt to the shocker and jack it up more and it should lower again, make sure its got the main pressure is off it tho before you undo fully, becarefull wen poping them out tho as they are under some pressure, i used a hammer and stud back and hit it, then replace and bolt shockers etc back up

any more help just ask :)
