DJM lower control arm help.

Hey guys I need some advice. I installed these lower control arms last week or so and when I put the top of the coil spring in the bucket where it's suppose to sit then it didn't sit in the keeper on the lower control arm. Should I just grind off the keeper?

That is what may do. Did you take measurements prior to installing the kit?
