You need to gently flex the front end so to make the grease zerks touch them to find the exact spot.That's how I did mine. |

I marked them while I was installing my new A-arms so it was pretty easy to find the contact area. I used a dremel with the stone grinder to "melt" the hole. Wear gloves because when it melts it falls onto your hands. 
Also, they popped in really easy with just a little bit of vaseline on the bump. I see you have the Jeep by Al's A-arms, I took a hacksaw and cut off that extra bump on the bump stop's contact surface. That extra bump fits into the stock A-arms groove, but not that well into Al's A-arms. |

I put the bump stops in, didn't put as radical a cut in them though, I like the photo, I cut the smaller 3/8" off they were too long for my application.
