Default Shocks rubbing

Just had a BDS 3" lift installed last week on my JK unlimited and crawled under today to inspect and found right front shock has large dent from hitting/rubbing on frame and left front shows some sign of same. Have not been offroad with it as of yet so have not really flexed it much. Just curious if any others have had this problem. Called shop and claim they have never heard of this and will be bringing back in.
Thanks

Yes.

I have th R.E. 3 1/2 super flex kit with ProComp MX6 shocks. Both sides do hit the frame when that side is at full drop. 2 yrs and no ill effects that i can tell. I do plan on relocating either the upper or lower mounts.
