Default AEV suspension problem?

I'm no mechanic, and I didn't install my lift, but does this look right to anyone?

Looks to be okay. Seems to match the install pic on the AEV installation manual...

Looks to me like your resevoir needs to be rotated around a bit so it does not contact that bracket

I agree. The metal should not be gouged and the "below" pic shows that with any travel, it certainly will come into contact.

Any suggestions how to rotate? I'm a student away from home so I have just basic tools. ((I'm in class or I'd call AEV.))

Thanks!

From your pic, it looks like a simple clamp is holding the reservoir in position. Probably just a flat screw driver to loosed up, reposition and tighten back up. ??

Problem solved... Finding a soft spot to lie down to make the adjustment took longer than the actual fix itself. Thanks guys.
