Default Getting swaybar out of the way...?

Hey JK forum,
Im pretty new to wheeling and I disconnected the swaybars for the first time a few weeks ago. I have a 3 inch BDS lift so i have the Front Ultimate Swaybar Disconnects that came with kit. Disconnecting the front left side went smooth and i was able to secure the swaybar up and out of the way no problem. When I got to the right side i ran into a problem. When i try to swing the swaybar forward up and out of the way, what i think is the steering stabilizer is blocking the swaybar from swinging away. I dont know if its the steering stabilizer for sure but i think it is. I'm just wondering how can i get the disconnected swaybar to swing past the steering stabilizer so its out of the way when wheeling?

Here are some pics of the problem

Ok I like simple problems. When you disconnect the links just rotate the away bar up a little before hooking up either side. Works for me.

x2 right, disconnect both sides before securing either. This will give you plenty of play to easily remove links.
