You need to preload.

Does this look like a 1 1/2" gap?

preload?

It's not "preload" in the common motorsports sense of the word......

You need to load the suspension before you tighten the control arms and suspension parts.

Make sure your suspension is in the normal position whaen you tighten the nuts/bolts...you can do this either by tightening them with the wheels on the ground...or by jacking the suspension up to normal ride height before you tighten them up

Hope this helps :)
