Lowering and sway bars

Ok, I put 3 inch drop I beams on my 81 F150 (with 92 suspension), and I cannot seem to get the sway bar to mount up. It wants to hit the drag link/tie rod, and it seems to be too long (wants to ram into the beam).

Am I alone in this problem? There are not very many lowered Fords in Spokane, WA, thus I have nothing to compare to. I thought the later sway bars might be different, but that is not the case, they are exactly the same as my 81. I have changed to the 92 sway bars links and link mount, but to no avail.

Thanks
Kenny
