Default Spring install suggestions???

I am installing the H&R springs on my car and ran into trouble. I got the fronts on fine, but the rears are giving me hell. I got the springs out fine, but now the arms wont drop down far enough for me to put the new ones in. I unbolted the top of the shock, but it only gave me an inch or so drop on the arm. I think I need to unbolt the sway bar. I cant compress the springs anymore or the compressor bolt will get stuck. Any suggestions on how to drop the IRS arms anymore???

i had to rent a spring compressor and i took a impact wrench to it to get it to compress enough that solved the problem, went it without having to drop the shock,
