Torque Arm Install

Okay, so I've finally had time to get back to piecing my car together again and It's come time to reinstall the torque arm and driveshaft (had entire front end out of the car).

Basically, the rear-end has rotated up and I'm having a helluva time getting it to rotate back enough to get torque arm bolts to line up. So far I've had wooden blocks under the tires to try to rotate it and I've also placed jackstands under the axle by the springs to try to rotate it with close, but not close enough results. I have a car lift, two floor jacks, and four jackstands to work with.

Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

Press upwards on the bottom of the differential houising with a bottle jack or a floor jack.
