ALright.... heres the problem.. we have the rear sheet metal cut for the 20's to come through. but... we can get the control arms and the trailing arms to allow the 20's to fully lay out.. we cant find anything holding it up we are like 3 inches from laying the jack point. Why wont the suspension go up any farther. Im pulling my hair out over this one and figured id ask you honda guys whats up with it.. any help wpuld be great. thanks

I am not sure about the hacth but on my accord wgn the rear trailing arm would bottom out on the floor board before the car would fully lay out you might want to look into notching taht out.

Seriously has to be something like a balljoint bottomed out. Don't really see how it would be so hard to see whats binding it up. Jack up the car on jackstands, then jack the wheel up and see what binds.

Check the front of the trailing arms they are probably hitting the ground, if you haven't z'd them. Or the little dog bone looking links that control the tow may be making contact with the trailing arm.

This would be my guess bro.

the whole car is on jack stands, we are going to lay it out today and let the weight of the car do what its gonna do.. but we looked at this thing for hours last night. and the trailing arm isnt hitting any where that WE can see. lol, and as far as the binding, i cant tell that either. we threw all this same stuff out last night. its mind boggleing.. but im going to check into this stuff you guys said and i'll get some pics posted for yall.. thanks alot everybody..
