I can't get the trac bar on. Advice?

I've pulled, pushed and tapped it with a hammer and I'm having no luck getting the trac bar on. The tires are off and the truck is on jackstands.
The bolt comming off the axle that the trac bar goes on is at an angle and the trac bar holes are horizontal. The only thing I can think of is, it's not lining up because I don't have the 4* C-Bushings yet. What do yall think?

Here's a pic.

It is probably not long enough now you have lifted it. Have you tried loosening the other parts of your suspension so you have some slop to align that pin?

What other suspension parts are you talking about loosening?

Take a look at this pic......You answered your own question.

And your going to need 7* not 4* nothing wrong with too much - camber but there is with too little.

AND DO NOT TRY TO WADDLE OUT THE HOLE!!!! YOU WILL GET THE DEATH WOBBLE!
