Default SPRING ALMOST DONE MORE help

Hi guys happy ST PATS DAY . first off I have to thank Joe from Tams , he was kind enough to send me a front spring spreader to use. he's one of those good guys ,I thought I needed one and was going to buy it but he sent me one to use . thanks Joe. that bring said I'm still not done. I added some pics. I think my car has to be jacked up higher because as I remove the tension on the spreader it looks as though its going to hit the outter edge of the crossmember. it also does not aline up under the center of the crossmember . if I raise the car and put a jack under the axel will the spring go up into the crossmember?? also can I shift the whole assembly side to side to aline the square center bolt?? Please check out the pictures and let me know whats wrong? thanks the HOOCH

I've used a pry bar or two to get the spring into the pocket, then lower the vehicle down and square up the bolt head.
Sometimes its a fight but it can be won.
