Default teraflex leveling kit problem

Just installed the leveling kit went great but the nut that came with the sway bar link is a nylon locking nut and cant get it to tighten all the way down because the the bolt just spins freely on the other side and there is no way to hold it. I was considering getting a grade 8 nut and a locking washer to tighten it down better anyone have a better idea

Have ur jeep on jack stands high enough to let the axle fully drop. Then jack the axle up far enough to connect the quick disconnects to the sway bar. Tighten the nut as far as u can till it starts spinning like u said. Then drop the axle slowly to put tension on the quick disconnect and sway bar. And then u should be able to tighten the nut all the way

Is there a place to put an allen wrench on the other side of the nut?
