Differential mounting problems

I just switched out my N/A diff for the TII LSD and for some reason I cannot get the bolts on the rear mounts to go all the way up. It looks like to me that the rubber pieces that go below the ends of the diff (between the ends of the diff and the bolt on those long *** screws coming from the frame) are hitting something before they are able to go all the way up.

Has anyone else had this problem?? Know what to do?

try to loosen your subframe bolts and lower the whole subframe down... i never done a t2 diff swap, but i know when i swapped lsd into my car everything had to be lifted in together at roughly the same time.

well i can get the differential up into the space where its supposed to be, just can't get the bolts up high enough to keep it there, so as it is, there's a little bit of room for it to move
