Andrew, Per the assy manual, you install the parts "Loose" and then tighten after the Laden weight has set on the ground. You are bound to get a lot more "rubber" twist torque with new bushings.
The rubbers on the axle pad tend to be way thicker than stock, and should be shaved so the bottom shock plate and axle plate touch easily and don't bend when tightened.
If your car sits that high, the suspension is probably NOT working..
Loosen it up and give it another try. Never hurts to grease the shackle bolts inside the bushings.
Good luck !
