Question Installing KBDD SFC's

I'm going to install them this weekend. I test fit them the other night but the rear mount that bolts (they are weld in) to the LCA mount did not slide all the way up. That is, the U groove did not bottom out on the LCA mounting bolt. Is this OK? When I tried jacking it up into place it starting lifting the car, which im sure is not good.

The car is on ramps in the front and jackstands on the rear axle in the back. Carpet has been removed to avoid fires and I will be weary of Fuel lines. I'm just concerned that either my frame is tweaked or SFC's need to be worked over to fit properly. Any suggestions? Thanks

On my KBDD there is a hole where the Front LCA bolt goes though. Are you saying KB changed the hole to a U shaped slot? I had to dent my floor very slightly to clear the DD. I would want the slot all the way up. I not only welded the front mount and the pinch weld mout I welded the mount at the torque brace( held in place by 4 small bolts, can't remember the real name) and the rear mount that you are talking about. I did not want to rely on bolts to hold them in place.
