^ It won't. Your 2" drop is up above (springs, I assume). The distance from the control arm to the bracket on the strut probably has not changed. Hope that helps. Proper geometry is more important to performance than the length of the link.

2" drop?
The end of the sway, and subsequently the attached link end sit below the level that the control arm attaches to the subframe.

I got my posters mixed up, and then I kind of mis-spoke.

For drop springs, the distance between the two end points of the drop link has not changed because you added shorter springs. That's my point.

Other aspects of the geometry changed but this distance has not.

I had replaced my sway bar bushings with oem's..... and for a side note to all of this I had to grind a bigger hole opening.. so I could get the 10mm socket and exstension properly aligned on both sides.... hope this helps.. have fun with that washer...

Should have read the directions before you compromised the integrity of the sub-frame.
