Default drop zone/kyb agx combo-I goat a prob. installing

today I went to my shop and set to installing me new drop zone coilovers and my 4pt adj kyb shocks. The back went on perfict and I thought the front did too, until I let the car off the hoist. my back dropped and my front looked like stock. to make this short I think my car was sitting on my frame or something but I couldn't see what it was. so to drive it home I raised the front up to monster truck style, and i'm sooo pissed. is there anyway that this combo doesn't work? is it stuck on my frame, and if so where? are the coilovers specialized for my front (I am almost 100% this isn't so). to check this all out I put my hand on the bushing inside the engine to see if the suspetion was working, and it wasn't "bobing up and down". I am nearest to saying that it's stuck up on something, please, please, any ideas?????
Thanks for all your help, I'm going to take my second try at it after I cool down on monday (I worked on this for 3 and 1/2 hours installing adn trying to diagnois this. thanks!

I'm assuming that you have sleeve-style adjustable coilovers right? Why not just adjust the height down in the front and up in the rear?

yea, I have the ghetto coilovers, and they fit just fine in the stoppers (rubber parts on top). I can't adjust the front height down, or my car will be riding on the frame, and could slip off causing my car to suddenly fall of the frame( or what ever it is stuck to) and go to the height it's supposed to be at, possibly botteming the front end out and completly messing everything up. Plus the reason why I got these is to lower the cars height, not to speng 450 and keep the stock height/go higher. thanks!

You can't adjust the front coilovers? Are the threads on the front sleeve part messed up? And what do you mean it sits on the frame if you lower it? The collars should be locked into the threaded sleeve cylinders.

Also, make sure your struts aren't blown.

strurs are fine, coilovers are fine, equipment I'm 99% sure is fine, but when I lower my car from the hoist, the car never completly lowered because it is probably stuck on something. I think tht the frame is the prob. I do know that my frame is part off( I think that the craddel is bent). anyways the car will not lower in the front. taht is the real prob, and if you have anyideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I can look at it on Thursday night and help you work on it on Friday if you don't have it fixed by then.
