I think you have the installed on the wrong side and upside down. I would think that shock mount would go at the top.

My SuperLift arms hit the shocks in the front end of my truck too, as it flexes it puts more stress inward on the shock.. I dont know why though.

They are meant to be mounted that way. If I turned them around the shock body hits the arm.

I was going to sell it but changed my mind. I ran the Rubicon with it this summer and it got quite a few new dents - so I am just going to keep it. We will probably buy a new car soon and just keep it for the summer.

Reading this I had the same damn problem with the shocks. Was your problem on both sides or the the driver side.

The radius arm was the same way as well. Only on the driver side. I didn't grind anything which made it a Huge PITA to get the rear of the arm in the crossmember hole.

My shocks hit on both sides.

How did you get the radius arm to fit without grinding it? Are the arms the same style as mine?
