Default Ordered Knuckle Gussets... This right?

Well I ordered my Knuckle Gussets and they just came in today. I wanted to slide them in to see how they will fit... Now I'm not too entirely knowledgable about my jeep just yet but is this right? They seem to be unable to fit due to the spring...

Am I completely off here?

That's how mine were I took a grinder with a flap wheel and took some off the gusset on the spring side.

If the coils are coming in contact, you can remove a bit of material with a grinder to get them to fit.

Did you get upper and lowers? The first picture looks way off to me.

I wouldn't install the one in the first pic, call the MFG and send them that pic. You shouldn't have to grind a product you paid good money to be in tolerance when you buy it. There is no amount of grinding that will fix that one. The whole inside arc is off. The EVO is a better design.

No they are both for the tops. They are the teraflex gussets.

Hopefully I can just return them and decide what to do after that.

You will need to grind the one side down a little. Seems that your coil bucket was slide over a little when Jeep welded it together.
