im assuming you've loosened the cam bolts on the LCA to allow more droop, while having UCA and the brake and sensor wires slacked? If not, do that. It should fit fairly easily. I've found that putting in the studs up top first then pushing down on the LCA while lining up the bottom bolt works easiest.
