TBH I fit the chassis end last! I just finger tighten the bolt on the ball joint end then pull the leg out so the chassis side slips in, fit the vertical bolt at the rear then manipulate the front into position. It's the quickest way I've found and can do a pair in just over an hour.

If you are Raising only one side of the car at a time, this will cause the exact problem you describe.

Can you confirm you are doing this with both front wheels clear of the ground?

... Spent over 2 hours last week trying to fit one only to discover that the hole in the rear bush was too small for the bolt !!!
Manufacturing error i guess but what a pain....

Its a bit easier if you replace the drop links at the same time (more movement on the "Jock-Leg") - Just watch out for the brake hose....
