Default Skunk2 sport shocks Polyurethane bushings (wtf!)

Okay So I have skunk2 lowering springs paired with skunk2 sport shocks. Everything was going fine on the install, until we put everything together, compressed the springs but the polyurethane bushings are to big, and I couldn't fit the top nut on the shock. These bushings came with the shocks and they won't even fit?? they are alot taller than the stock rubber ones. I had to end up using my stock rubber one so the top washer and nut could fit.
Anyone with skunk2 shocks have a problem with this?

heres some pics.

sayyooon if you know how to do this your a genius, I even tried using the rubber bottom bushing and top polyurethane bushings and it still didn't clear enough of the rod for the washer and nut to fit on top. i don't understand why skunk2 design the bushings for really hard installation, even with a compressed spring, we were working against a metal plate that flat out stopped us from progressing.
(note that these bushings and shocks came Together!) arggg. lol

i can show you a picture of it even mounted on the shock hahaha, its on my car. i think what i did was, take the metal plate off, screw the nut in, unscrew the nut then put the metal plate back on and screw the nut in again. its been so long ): .
