Default Question about leveling kit issue

Just installed a 2 inch leveling kit on my 2wd. Got longer shocks b/c factory ones were maxed out all the way. Problem is when I hit dip in road, upper a arm strikes side of coil bucket. My question is what does anyone think could remedy this problem, new upper a arms or grinding down the upper a arm alittle bit so it has more room to articulate downwards? Any suggestions would be great.

I would suggest removing the leveling kit. if you really want it level you could also lower the rear a couple inches. , just and idea

Default 1.5" not 2" inch.

I put the 1.5" inch Daystar spacers in and have had no problems with grinding or shock extension. Can't help you with the 2".

Does anyone know if someone manufactures a 2" lowering kit for the rear instead of raising the front to level out our trucks?

Did you remove the coils in order to install these? If so, maybe you re-installed them upside down...?
