finally i got it! what was wrong was i had to put a bracket on the transmission shift because the body was raised 3inches of course, so i put that on and the arm that moves with the bracket was raised up with the body and so basically it skipped being in park so it was in reverse when i kept trying to crank it. but my center console gear shifter was telling me it was already in park so thats why it wasnt cranking i just have to move the cable back down to where it was because the body lifted up and out of the park gear.
