I recently put some DD LCA's on mine....had the same deal....I did get it on it just took a few minutes of head scratching...I thought the same thing...they messed em up....Mine were on a Fox to boot and lined up...
Pic isn't the best...but you can see the swaybar bolts " inside"



Mine are Black so its tough to see the bar..




The style I use..

Ya those...I took mine off after about 2 weeks...as I just slapped the LCA's on...I noticed afterwards I have a weird kinda grind when turning a sharp Right....Weird as I never had it prior to the quads coming off...I was thinking of putting back on the see if goes away????? I can notice the dif from the factory rubber bushing to...I have a type of vib/harshness at real low speeds...Play you pay I guess...
Let me know how your change the ride....wanna see if its just me...

I thought they were suppose to make everything better with new bushings. In my directions for the new CA's it says they recommend you take off the quads. You replace all the bushings when you did it? Did you use the poly ones? I replaced teh axle ones with rubber because peopel on here said to cause the poly wasn't good for that spot but then everybody said to us it there so i don't know lol.

I made a thread with progress pics if ya wanna check it out Pics
