Last set I helped install we just ground down the pin a little. The stock size pin is fine for other quality lifts. I'm not sure why RE picked this as the one thing to over do.

If you haven't re-torqued your u-bolts lately, I would. If it starts to make noise, it will only get worse unless fixed. A little weld will snug the hole up is needed.
