Default Problems installing Spohn ds loop

I can't get the top arched piece that goes over the driveshaft on. The instructions say to put it on from the drivers side up at the front yoke. No luck there. Its too tight to fit. Anyone else have problems?

Jack the back of the car up and put it on jackstands, you want the rear suspension at full droop. Now put it over the drive shaft back by the rearend then move it up front.

You could pull the drive shaft then put it in.

Well I tried lifting the weight of the car while rear axle was on stands. Still can't get the loop over because the torque arm is in the way. It just pisses me off that I now have to drop the driveshaft when the instructions say "No Need to Remove Driveshaft". Ok Im done ranting now.
