Default Need help instlling fixed control arms

I'm installing fixed length front lower control arms. The new arms are obviously longer than stock. How do you line up holes to install bolts?

Next time use floor jack to ever so so slightly support front housing at pinion. Do one side at a time. May still need hammer and screwdriver but will make ut easier.

I just used a floor jack and took my time. I supported one side with a jack stand while jacking up the other side and got both CA in without anything but my hands. You obviously will need two jack stands so you can move the jack.
