id say the rear swaybar is still holding it up in place. You need to jack the entire end off the ground , on jack stands too.

Just push the hub down, it should drop as soon as you unbolt the strut from the lca.
You have to push it down hard, I got my mate to stand on mine :)

did you relocate your bumper screws and stuff for your rims to clear the guard?
