1.8" bj spacers dont fit

Hey guys, I recently bought some 1.8 bj spacer to liftthe front of my truck as it was maxes out on the t-bars, my truck is a 1993 hilux sr5 (basically a 4runner) and when I tried to put the spacers in there was no where near enough room.
I loosend the upper ball joint and tried to move the lower control arm down but it couldnt go any further, then the cv started binding, so my question is, how do you guys do it, some of you manage it without diff drop spacers, how?! I now know that I'm going to need diff drop, isthere a way i can do it myself ?
Thanks guys!

Uncrank your Tbars. You can't install BJ spacers with the Tbars cranked, and the point of them is to give you a small amount of lift while maintaining a factory ride.

thanks, yeah I had to do that in the end, but I managed to install a 2" diff drop in the front (with front crossmember modification)so I could wind the t bars back up and I got all 3" of my lift so I'm pretty happy, brakes lines still have slack at full extension and no cv binding
