How do you install coil springs on an 83

Having a difficult time putting my new spring in. Used 3 different kinds of spring compressors and just can't seem to get it in. I had it in when I disconnected the anti roll bar but I cannot get the anti roll bar back with them in.

Its been too long since I did this operation, don't remember how I did it, I think I used a spring compressor that consisted of a threaded rod with hooks, not sure why the anti-roll bar (front stabilizer) would be an issue if the vehicle weight is sitting on the tires... but, dumb question: have you studied the procedure in the shop manual? (front suspension and steering, page 3)
