I found out when I put on larger wheels that my car is a little over a quarter in lower on the passenger side. The rear wheel is rubbing and I'm trying to get i back on the road. I got a shackle kit figuring I could adjust the height slightly, but after getting the old shackle off the leaf wont drop down for me to get the bolt through on the new shackle. I tried raising and lowering the jack under the rear, nothing. Any suggestions? Do I have to remove the u bolts and shock to let the leaf drop down? Thanks.

Might try losening the front bolt. With this bolt tight the rubber in the front bushing must twist to allow movement.
