Lift kit install suggestions

I’m installing a lift kit from Offroad Deaigns in my 72 Blazer and have run into an issue with one of the rear springs. The passenger side front hanger for the spring is nearly impossibly to get the spring in. It’s the solid front and I have the rear in no problem. I have it about half way up and it just won’t go any further. The other side was a bit of a pain but finally popped in with a mallet and some side to side motion. I’ve used a transmission jack to try and get it in but that starts to lift the truck. I’ve beat on it with a mallet and nothing. I’m using new polyeurethane bushings and it seems like the sleeve is catching. I’ve greased them as well. I know it’s a tight fit but man it’s a pain. Any suggestions to get it in?
