Default lift kit install issue

Okay i got a 4.5 inch kit for my 94 zj. Drivers front is 100% done. Passenger front has new spring in. I got lower Control arm in, and spring. I can't get the upper control arm to line up so I can get the bolt through. My stock track bar is still connected. I need a torch to removed e it without snapping bolts. Anyone have this problem before? My pinion is too high meaning the axle moved on the hub bearings and twisted up if that makes sense. My pinion needs to come down. Any advice to get this done?

Kinda have to see a pic to tell for sure but I go around the knuckle eather top or bottom depending on way it needs to go. A spring compresser will make it easy if you have one

Disconnecting one end of the track bar and the drag link will allow for lateral movement and that really helps getting control arms to line up too.
