I'd enlarge the hole. Remove the spring and shock, then remove some material. Re-install the shock and cycle the suspension throughout its entire range of motion using a floor jack or a bottle jack, even beyond what you think you will actually use. Check clearance and keep removing material until you have about 1/8" clearance through entire range of motion. Once there, re-install spring and shock, set ride height and check again.
