Default Spohn t/a install and moser 9" nightmare PLEASE HELP

I tried to install my spohn adj torque arm on my moser 9 today. I am having the worst time with this. My t/a has the dual hole mounting bracket. I can not get the bolt to go through the holes on the inside, but on the outter holes I can get one bolt fully through and the other through the top but not them bottom. Its like I dont have any room to adjust the arm to allow the bolt through. Anyone have any ideas or tips to finish the install. Also, will a lakewood d/s loop fit with this torque arm?

You should be using the holes on the driver's(outside) side when using a ford 9".

yes if your standing behind the car looking at the rear you should be using the holes closest to the passanger side, you may have the grind down the bracket on the corners a bit, i had to with my umi mount

I had to cut the corner off of my spohn torque arm because it was hitting the third member. I'm sure this is the same problem your having.

what kind of transmission mount do you have. also, jack up the rear axle. and load the suspension, looks like you are looking at it with the rear axle hanging.

Yes, it is with the rear end hanging, which should theoretically let the drive shaft down, its hitting at the top as is. If I let it down, definitely gonna hit.

The car has an Energy Suspension poly trans mount I believe.
