3" lift upper arm not connecting

Hello all,
New here, this is my first post. So I'm lifting my 2022 sr5 3.5 4x4 access cab. 3" rough country n3 struts, 2" blocks rear with O.C n3 shocks ( I know boring right). I'm 55, owned 6 trucks Toyotas, this is my first lift. I had everything go good until I had to attach the upper arm ball joint and for some reason I can't make to two connect. I got a pray bar and once I got them connected the upper arm was smashing into the spring and it was like locked. If anything could give any adobe that would help it would be highly appreciated. Thanks

 

Welcome aboard

try disconnecting the lower ball joint so you can do the top first then you can use a jack to jack the lower into place.
Pics are always helpful.

Have you tried jacking it into place?
If that doesn’t work double check your parts are correct.
Good luck

 

Heys thanks for the reply. Man yeah I've tried the jack and it seems like it doesn't want to move. It's like the struts are to strong. I can take some photos in the morning, it's really late and I was just stressing. I've connected everything and disconnected everything. I have the passage side jacked up right now hoping the strut will fade down over night. When I jack the lower arm up it lifts the entire side off the jack stand.
