Need advice on front strut install

I'm in the middle of installing the ToyTec/OME lift. I got the old front strut out on one side and the new OME spring and shock assy with small spacer in on the top and the nuts started.

I've been trying for a couple of hours now to get the lower control arm to drop far enough down to get the lower shock bolt installed. I can't even get the shock to get near. Tried all sorts of pry bars, I even have a ratchet strap on the spring to compress it a bit.

Any ideas? Or am I doing something wrong? If I can't get this I'll end up putting the stock parts back on and taking it to a shop. I was quoted $500 for the job, really wanted to do it myself and spend the $ on a bumper.

Thanks
