Chances are they do need to be reamed after they are pressed in.
Your best bet is to take the spindles with bushings installed, and the king pins, to an automotive machine shop and have them hone or ream them to size.

You will most likely have a difficult time with a brake cylinder hone.

Part of having a shop do it is they should ensure that the two bores have the same centerline. If you do them one at a time with a brake cylinder hone you can't ensure they have the same centerline. And if they don't then once you do get the pin to fit, the bushings will loosen up sooner than a properly reamed set.
