How did you even get the lift coil to compress that far to get the upper arm back into the spindle?

Don't even compress the coil. Gotta be a man and use all your force to get them to seat, then a ratchet strap from the lower arm, around the spindle, over the upper arm back to the lower arm. Whack the upper arm with a hammer as you tighten the strap. It'll go in. Haha

There are too many dishonest shops. I googled if there was a whistle blowing agency to shut these places down and an article about this shop that dropped a car off a lift and tried to cover it up. Lol

Two things here.
1. You actually tied the brake caliper up. Honestly surprised at that one.
2. If you have to do that much to get the arm to seat its beyond its limits.... Nothing more than a pry bar should be needed to put the upper arm back in the spindle/knuckle.

Yep.

Actually I've never let my calipers hang from the hydraulic line. Not now, not ever.

I'm thinking about doing the body lift this week and throwing my stock coils back in. Might be nice for it to ride really soft for a change.

that'd be the smart thing to do... So it's safe to assume you won't be doing that.
