Torsion bar installation

OK..two differing opinions here re the spindles needing to be on or not, so still a bit confused. Here is what I have tried so far: 1) L&R bars in correct L&R position /adjusters all the way out, upper control arm Bump Stop still in position, all new BJ's and bushings (rubber). If i leave the spindles OFF, with the LCA fully down and slide the bar up to the hex hole, all I need to do is lift the LCA about an inch and the bar slides in easily. I then have to use a trolley jack to lift the LCA to a point where i can install the spindle. at this point the bar seems to be partially loaded. 2) if I install with Spindle ON, I need to use the trolley jack and lift the LCA up a lot higher before the bar will align with hex hole. The bars then seem quite heavily loaded.......
