i bet it happend with the tbar crank. I would chop the bracket off and fab up a new one for it if you can i dont think you could do much to fix it unless you did that

Mount 'em the other way around if they can be. Check the specs to make sure.

Mine did that with the 9000's too. I just ground the bumpstop bracket a little bit and it was fine.

You can't flip the shock because the top mount is a threaded rod and not an eye like the bottom.

When you install your BJ spacers you will have the grinder out anyway.
