Problems fitting the 884s/5100 combo

I have a stock 2015, in the middle of installing my lift, and have run into an issue fitting the coils. I've heard it is not uncommon to have to either use a jack or a large crowbar and leverage to push down on the UCA to create enough clearance to slide the new coil assembly into place. Unfortunately neither are working for me - I'm getting a lot of downward travel from the UCA and nearly have the clearance to slide the lower shock mount into place, then the UCA contacts the coil and won't move any farther.

Sway bar is out of the way and the tie rod end is also disconnected. At this point I'm guessing my two options are to disconnect the UCA ball joint or disconnect the LCA. Two questions:
1. Are there any other options/tips?
2. Can I just remove the cam bolts from the LCA to create enough room then use a jack to compress the shock and lift the arm back into place? I know that will wreak havoc on my alignment (even though I'll be marking the cams) but I already have an alignment appointment scheduled for tomorrow anyway.

Thanks in advance!

 

Nevermind. Got it. Took some finagling and re-positioning of the jack halfway through plus a BFH.
