Being a budget, I did not want to spring for a bit to drill for a 9/16 stud, so I found one that worked. Good idea though to keep them all the same. I didn’t weld it yet either, and I’m right about to paint. Being inexperienced at welding, I read to many naysayer things online and pressing in seemed to work ok.
On another note, I used my calendar drawing money to buy a pinion guard. Excited to get it!
If you're doing truck things @cybrfire sells mounting plates for $12.60.

Not sure why I didn’t see your reply earlier, but this is the plate I’m actually using. A little forethought would have allowed me to request a hole for the factory sized studs but oh well. I made the ASSumption that they’d be drilled for 9/16 studs. I think it worked out ok though. I’ll be done with the bumper in a couple days to a week so look for my post for the final product.
