ive never heard of having to drill...for mine i didn have to drill anything...not 100% sure just saying that they were fine for me
 






You just have to drill the sleeves out in the front two mounts. No problem!
 






Ok, what they are talking about is the 2 Very front Body mounts. From the factory, they use a large washer with threads on it, and a Nut, the nut is on the top, the washer plate is in the middle somewhere. They want you to drill this washer plate out so that the bolt will pass thru it. That should help you!
 






Also, make sure you pay attention to the order all the front mount pieces are stacked in. It will make the reinstall go more smoothly. You'll know what I'm talking about when you crawl under there or when you do the lift.
