Default Installing front lowring springs

I have recently installed a lowring kit on my 97 blazer and I didnt put the one inch spacers in cause I didnt think id need them. Well after drivin it for about two weeks ive decided that the front was way to low then the rear plus the ride sucked bad... So I decided to put those 1'' spacers in and now I cant get the spring back in and alligned. I seperated the lower ball joint and the tie rod and sway bar and it seems that its impossible for it to fit in right. Ive tried a spring compressor and no dice. I remember having the same issue before but now that im trying to ad the spacer theres just no room. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get these in???

do you have the spacer on top of the spring? if so it could be getting caught up on something and if thats the case try useing tape to hold the spacer in place and try again. if it doesnt go easily youll just have to keep fighting it.

Yeah the spcer is on top, I actually glued the dam thing on and faught with it for about two hours and then it started to rain real heavely so I stopped I thought about unbolting the the lower control arm from the frame I think thats how I did it before. I guess I can try that next time I get to round two!!!
