RE drop bracket issue

[dunnc1991]

Just got my drop brackets installed. However, I can't get my factory lower control arms (temporary) to slide back in. Anyone run into this? Almost looks like the sleeve in the bushing is hitting. Not sure if some grease would help it along. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I used a piece of all thread and a couple nuts and washers inside the pocket to spread mine apart.
