Get another friend, have him stand on the other side of the door sill, and jump on the side that won't go down. Mine needed a little bit of persuasion going on. Took some force but it all eventually came down. It had ot go on in a certain order, so you may have to lift one side up and put the other side down first.

Also try not bolting them all in. We got the cab all the way down on the mounts before bolting anything down.

I had this problem after sfbd my mazda, turns out my long ass seat belt bolt on that side was hitting the exhaust pipe. I was amazed that the thin walled exhaust tubing and that one bolt were holding the whole cab up.

i had this problem when puttin my f150 cab back on for the first time, nothing was holding it up, the frame was level, couldnt figure out why. but eventually it went down. just dont tighten the other bolts all the way first just thread it once and move on to the next, and i would personally start with the corner thats giving u trouble...good luck bro
