Lift help. Taking off front springs

[MSJKU11]

I don't remember running into this issue before but I can't seem to lower my axle on the driver side far enough to remove the front coils. I've removed the shocks, sway bar, track bar, and loosened brake lines. Anything else I can do to loosen the axle to make it droop a little more?

Removing driveshaft at the diff has helped me before.

Also loosening all the front control arms.

I pretty much had to disconnect everything to get my springs out last time. Was super annoying

Sometimes jacking up the passenger side will make the driver's side go lower. As long as something else isn't binding.

It was the driveshaft. Hung up on the muffler. Thsnks guys

You guys have any tips on tightening a spinning drag link end?

Box wrench or gear wrench and vice grips. (Provided that the drag link end doesn't have an internal hex bore in the end of the stud. )

Is it OE? Should have an allen head in the stud. 7mm if I remember correctly.

This is what I do.

Was also going to suggest checking the locker wiring (if it's equipped with oem e-locker). When doing my gussets that's what hung mine up but I felt like I was going to break something trying to get it apart so I left it and just pulled the coil up and out of the way.
