Track arm bushing installation

I didn't get any directions with my skyjacker kit so i just tore into it. Well I have pretty much put the entire lift on with the springs new C-bushings, drop radius arm brackets and shocks. Now i am looking into putting in the new track arm bushings. But the arm doesn't quite reach the hole. What should i do? take it all apart and do that first? I really don't want to do that. thanks
Nick

Track arm bushing installation

They really should line up. Infact, it "should" be tough to pull the radius arms OUT of the holes. To get mine out (also to replace the bushings), I took a come-along from the axle to post set in cement in front of the truck. If you're sure everything's installed correctly, I'd take a come-along and pull from your axle to your trailer hitch.
