Also, just to confirm, there are no "spacers" from a previous lift in there right? The OME shocks do allow for more droop than stock shocks... perhaps that combined with the factory tolerances of the upper control arm may be causing this interference. The UCS's are stamped, there may be some variations from one arm to another.
There was no lift before so the only spacer is the toytec one. I'll try to take some pictures and post tonight.

So, a 0.5in spacer on top of a strut that is a 0.5in longer wouldn't cause your problems? I thought the OME had either a 5mm or 10mm trim packer which is usually installed on just the drivers side.

Re: Toytec lift woes....

Well I went in last night to take another look and post some pictures....to my amazement the coil wasn't index correctly! Is it possible for the coils to shift after the initial install...

Thanks for all the help folks...
