Default Spohn Torque Arm...Do I have to beat Floor board in??

I just installed my Spohn torque arm and clearance seems a little tight on the drivers side of the car. Do I need to beat that in a little?? Or will it clear?? thanks

Driver side at the back where the bracket mounts to the axle housing will require a little bit of clearancing work just to make sure it doesn't bottom out on the car anywhere. As far as anywhere else, I never had any problems.

I think this condition is worse with a 9 inch(physical size)..my Pops and I clearanced ours, it is also worse on a lowered car.
