2.5” level control arm interference issue

[zippozach]

Hey y’all, hunted like crazy and haven’t seen anyone ever deal with this so wondering if I’m just doing something very wrong.
installing ready lift UCA’s and motofab 2.5” level. got everything apart, put thespacer on top of strut, in order to get it backin I had to have someone push the lower control arm down against the resistance of its bushing, now that it is in there, the lower control arm is so low to match up with bottom strut mount that it actually interfereswith strut’s gas cylinder, and the top of the strut sits with two screws level and the outboard oneonly half seated. Even if I can manage to cram everything together, seems to me that the “bump stop” in this setup would be the strut prying against its top 3 bolts, while its lowercylinder smacks in to the lower control arm... what is going on here?
First photo shows strut against control arm, second shows upper bolts, all three nuts are flush with top of bolt to give an idea of the unevenness.

I think we are gonna need some photos a from a bit further back to actually see what is going on

Here is some more. You can sorta see the gap from motofab spacer to gram where it is angled. On bottom you can see interference actually keeps me from being able to get lower bolt all the way through strut.

Swap struts from driver to passenger

Swap struts from driver to passenger

What impact does this have? I know instructions and they way they build these spacers require you to rotate 180, but they look evenly built to me?

 

[zippozach]

Never mind pulled passenger side and I see they aren’t symmetrical. I’ll swap them hopefully that solves it all

 

[zippozach]

swaps sides, no change. Same interference top and bottom. I played with stuff as I took apart passenger side, the top flex I’m not worried about looks like the strut has the ability to flex build in. So it’s just this bottom end interference. How on earth are y’all making this work ok?

 

[zippozach]

Just for kicks I pulled off the motofab 2.5” and put on the 2” that came with ready lift UCA’s, they fit fine with no interference. I’ll still have a half inch of rake but I’m willing to accept that in exchange for not worrying about breaking something on install or while driving.

Could motofab have sent the wrong piece? Did you double check part #?
