Disc Brake Conversion Question

[tejanopirate]

Howdy everyone .

I'm converting the brakes on my '62 to disc brakes all the way around.

On the front driver's side, we removed the old spindle, but the lower A-arm won't come back up high enough to allow the new spindle to be put on. The new spindle is about 7/8" longer, so I am not understanding why things aren't bolting back up. Could it be an issue with the torsion bar? If so, is there a way to make it all mate back up. When I put a jack under the lower A-arm, it raises that whole side of the truck.

Thank you in advance,

Nate
