Default Rear QA1 bushing too wide?

Well guys I am slowly making more progress on the car and started installing my rear single adjustable QA1 shocks tonight. I am running a fabricated 9" from Burkhart Chassis with the shock relocation brackets and the lower shock mount busing on the QA1's seem way too wide. I lubed everything up and tried spreading the bracket a little with a crescent wrench on the forward edge and the shock still wont slide in. Has anyone else with this combo run into this problem? I sanded off the powdercoat from the mounts and it is still too tight. I am thinking I either need to mill down the bushings on the shocks just a bit roughly 1/4" or I need to heat and spread the brackets. Let me know if any of you have any experience in this area.
