Default PA Body Lift question....

I just got mine in and am planning on the install this weekend. While going through to make sure all parts are there I noticed something strange.

The 2 larger bolts that are used in the rear do not fit through any of the pucks. Is this normal? Do I just pound them through with a hammer? Should I drill the holes out a bit larger? Did I get the wrong pucks?

Help!!!

I just installed my PA body lift last weekend. I had a hard time with those last two bolts as well. I went ahead and just drilled them out. I initially pounded the screws through with a hammer, but then they got stuck so I just drilled it out to make it easier. After I drilled the holes out everything went together nice and easy.

I am going with 35's and don't want to go with a bigger lift. The Jeep handles great right now and I don't want to change that. The 1" should give me enough clearance to have no issues.
