i need help replacing my proaction skid

[ualav8]

after removing my skid for some re-bushing and bearing maintainence, im trying to put it back in. i got the forward set of bolts in no problem. i loosened the control arm adjusting nuts in an attempt to get the mid bolts set but i needed a ratchet-strap to act as a come-along to get them in position. now the rear bolts are about 1.5 inches off their mark and i cant find a 400 pound gorilla to get this thing in place. im pretty sure this isnt supposed to be this hard so i'm obviously missing a step/trick somewhere. can somebody help me out on this?

remove the bolts from the bottom of the transfer rods.it will go right in.

Which bolts? The adjuster bolts or the bolts behind the rear axle guide wheels that hold the control rods to the skid?

there is a bolt that goes into the bottom of the transfer rod. It goes upward toward the top.Its a pain but well worth it.
