Default Flip Kit Help !!

I installed a flip kit on my 84 ranger yesterday and noticed that the hole in the flip bracket wouldn't allow the stud in the middle of the leaf spring to come through fully , in which didn't allow the flip bracket to seat fully on top of the leaf springs. I was wondering if this is how its intended or should I have drilled the hole out a little more. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

you may have to drill the hole out a bit more, but each bracket only fits one side, so that may be your problem.

Hey thanks , but i tried using both brackets on the drivers side and they both fit the same way. So maybe you're right , i just may have to drill the holes out a bit more. Anymore suggestions would be great.

Allright I ended up calling DJM yesterday and asked them about the hole in the bracket situation and they told me exactly what you all said , that the hole should have been big enough for the stud to fit thru. So I ended up drilling it out a bit and PRESTO, it worked. Thanks again for your help.
