I got a full set of the weld on control arm skids from ORE. This past weekend I got the front ones welded on without issue, and started looking at the rears.

I would think the bottom of the main rear skid is supposed to fit tight against the bottom of the control arm mount. Mine does not. It is hitting the bottom of the shock bracket that hangs down past the bottom of the control arm bracket. I know they are right and left specific and I'm sure I have the right ones in the correct locations. The front of the skid seems that it would fit well against the front of the control arm bracket as does the rear where it wraps up to protect the bottom of the shock. Except for the 1/4" of shock bracket that's in the way.

Has anyone experienced this? Suggested work arounds?

 

For anyone else's benefit this is the response I got from Andrew at ORE.

1. Grind the bottom of the shock tab down, only if your shock has enough
room underneath it to do so.

2. Weld them on just how they are. They will totally perform their
funtion this way.

I'm going with #1 if there's enough room. If not I may cut the shock bracket completely off and fab up a new one and raise it 1" or so. That is probably my best solution.
