Front leaf spring bushing on a 81 4x4

Hi Y'all. I need some advise on replacing the front leaf spring bushing on a 4x4. I was able to replace the rears easily but the front two wont come down far enough to slip the bushing in. Is it the sway bar holding it up or something I'm over looking.

Thanks up front Bill

Thought so I just wasn't sure if I needed to take the sway bar off at the front or where it connects to the springs.
