On my '99 2x4, I could actually see the bolts were going in on an
angle (on both sides). I took a drill & bit and "egged" the shock's
holes a bit more. The bolts went in no problem.
It seems the Edelbrock needs to change their design a little. Besides
the instances mentioned here, I had the same problem on two sets of
shocks (wasn't happy with the first set and sent in for replacements).
