Hey Chris. It's been a bit since I assembled my suspension but I seem to recall having a hard time installing both the front and the rear sway bars. Someone here suggested that when the suspension is at full droop everything is wonky because it's designed to line up properly at the proper ride height. You may want to try running the spring perches all the way down and then jacking up the knuckles so that the lower control arms are roughly parallel to the ground. Then see how the sway bar fits. FWIW - my rear sway bar looks similar to yours. Here's how it fits with the suspension in more of a "correct" position (i.e., not full droop).
