I thought about drilling them out but decided instead to call Hellwig and they had a new set of plates at my door in another week.

that's the tweeking they had to do on mine too. I couldn't remember until you refreshed my memory. Senior moment?

The only tweaking I had to do on mine was the passenger side u bolt. It seemed to be a little bit sprung and I had a hard time to put the ends thru the holes on the plate under the shock. Now if I was at work doing it, no problem, but at home in the driveway I had no bfh to tweak it just right. I ended up using a large zip tie and brought the ends closer. Very minor, but at home I wasted an extra 1.5 hrs on that one until I figured out to use the zip tie.
