whats stoping you firewall, tie rods, lower control arms hitting the frame, frame upper ball joints binding or the bag cups are too big. did you just change from smaller to bigger wheels or has it just never laid.

4" should lay door. which arms are you using? if there designed to be a drop arm your ball joints may be binding.
