Rock Krawler and Synergy Bolt Kit

Hello. First post here but have been reading for a long time. I've been accumulating parts for my 2014 rubicon unlimited.
I have the RK 3.5 x-factor sitting in boxes waiting for a few other items to arrive before I have it installed. I've read a lot about the bolt kits so I bought the synergy kit that includes replacement bolts for all four control arms as well as both track bars. My logic being that since the x-factor replaces all control arms and track bars it would be a great time to swap all bolts.
In the interest of trying to learn about the jeep I sorted all the bolts and started to test fix them in the various RK suspension parts. Some of the bolts for great but some others are a little too tight (meaning the bolts are slightly too big).
Would like opinions on if I should ask my installer to widen the holes so the bolts for or just use the factory bolts in those locations. Anything else to have done / request with this lift and bolt combination?
Thank you
Rick
