i had a problem at first too, try a little lube on the bolts to get them to start up in the holes of the crossmember. I had to pound mine in with a hammer at first.

Did the kit come with longer bolts? You (obviously) can't use the stock bolts with the spacers.

Bolts should be about 8" long for that vehicle:
