I installed the lift yesterday and I think the only problem I have is that the bottom of the spring holders (where they sit in) on the shock in the front is touching the sway bar on both sides.... Any suggestions??

Which lift did you install?

Something is not correct, this should not be an issue. Pictures??

I just went and checked mine. Not much clearance, but no rubbing.

Question...is it contacting on both sides or only the drivers/pass side? could it be that the sway bar isn't centered side to side? I don't see that it could shift far enough to cause the contact, but...

You may have installed the Spring Cups in upside down.... The factory set-up has the Spring Cups facing down, but with the OME set-up, they must face upwards with the springs resting inside of them (where they will collect dirt)....

I'm running the same setup. Like it was said above, I've got a hair of clearance, but no rubbing...

There should have been info about "properly clocking" the springs.... go back and read through that info. I'm pretty sure your springs were assembled with the clocking off. They will rub if not clocked properly.

if you look at the OME spring cup, there should be one side that tucks up, and the other that doesn't.

The tucked up side should be in front closest to the sway bar. That will prevent the rub.

you can see the tucked up part in this pic:

This is most likely the solution to your problem. Which way are those bumps on the spring cups pointed? I had mine pointed pretty much in the direction of the oil drain plug and never had any issues with rubbing

ya i was going to say the springs are not clocked right. But make sure the spring is in the cup the right way that was messed up on mine too.

I had the exact same problem. The installer put the cups in upside down. Same rubbing on the sway bar that cause a squeak. Also, lowered the front lift by 3/4 inch. The are upside down, dude.
