ES9000's On A Gen II 2wd

My Dad's 95 has been getting new goodies this week. I'll post on that later.
 It still had the original shocks at 90,000 miles so those had to go. I
ordered up a set of Pro Comp ES9000's for him. I found the right part
numbers from their website, confirmed them when I ordered from 4wheelparts,
and double-checked them when they showed up. My buddy's shop called me today
in the middle of the install. The front shocks did not fit. They hit the
control arms. Apparently the ES9000's were too thick to fit into the control
arms. He was able to grind out the hole and open it up enough for the shocks
to fit. Still, that doesn't count as a bolt-on to me. I called Pro Comp and
they agreed grinding should not be necessary. It should work out fine but I
thought others might be interested in case they buy these.
