Please help. It just seemed so stupid, I couldn't believe it.

I know this sounds a bit silly but the base for the bump stop seems lower than most I have seen. In one video a guy cuts away at his bump stop (about an inch from the point. My bump stop base is about and an inch lower than his and the bolt needs about 3mm more downward swing to pass the base and the very tip of the nut end is still in its mount hole.
I think Im gonna try bash the lip of the bump stop mount up across the width of where the bolt head has to pass.
The nut end of the bolt has a 6 mill rounded locator on it. This must be the wrong bolt. Its too long to drop out of the bolt hole on the mount and wont swing enough to go under the bump stop mount. What a fricken head ache.
