trac bar install help !!!

hi all, i just installed the pro comp leveling kit into my 99f250 sd 4x4. well, i cannot seem to get the trac bar re-installed, and was wondering what any of you guys have done in the past. also, how long should it take for the springs to settle? right now my nose if about 1-1.5 inches higher than the rear, even with the 4 inch block. thanks in advance !!

I drive one tire up a steep incline to compress the suspension. You may have to play with one side or another. I always get it pretty easy..

Or you could put a ratchet tie down strap around the front axle on each side and hook to the frame. I have done this to reattach the trac bar - works well.

Do as Mtgrzlyman Said! Turn it to the right then have them turn ti the left until you can shove the bolt through!
