Also having trouble getting the rear fixed bolt through to the threds.It goes right to them then wont start on the thred.I put new bushings all around but did not think the rear bushing needed to be reemed to size.Everything seems to line up.Any suggestions.Thanks in advance!

You might have to install the rear threaded bolt first so you can wiggle the spring around by hand to get it started. Once they are started, hook up the u-bolts and axle, then work your way forward. Thats how I had to do mine, I tried to install the axle and springs as a unit and ran in to the same problem with the rear bolts.
