Default need help on spring install QUICK!

Well me and my friend took off the strut assembly and were going to put it back in after we put on the springs, but the problem we have is that the hub isn't moving back up to attach the two lower bolts to the strut assembly. I've been trying for the past hour and can't get it on. How do we do it? Is it because maybe the axles have popped out? Help me please, I'm a noob!

seriously man! i got everything back together, except the front passenger side axle. there will be some taking apart here and there, then it should be done.

so far, i have a two finger gap, and that's at the highest setting. i'll try to have pictures up later in the week.

thanks guys!

and for weekend mechanics!
