Drop shackles - Bolt size help

I just picked up a set of DJM Drop Shackles to lower my truck 2" in the rear. I found that the side with the bushing is 5/8" like the bolts, but the upper holes are only 1/2". I suppose I'll have to open them up 1/8 but I was just wondering if anyone else used DJM shackles and had this problem

I used them on My 76 shortbox, and everything fit perfectly.

that's the same thing I've got -- a '76 shortbox but I guess I got a weird set or something. Now that I look at it, it could be the powdercoating because it's not actually 1/8 of difference. I think I'm making a big deal over nothing

Thanks
