Default Those with Ace Sliders, I have a question...

Ok hopefully this makes sense I recently ordered some ace sliders for my JKU, they have not arrived yet. I had a question about mounting them. I know they mount to the body mount locations, but I may have a potential problem. I have a teraflex long arm and after looking at the rear control arm brackets I am worried they will be in the way of the ace slider mounting boxes. Part of the teraflex brackets that are welded to the frame protrude into the body mount box. Here is a picture of what I'm talking about.

Do you think that bracket will cause a problem? If so I probably need to try and cancel my order. Thanks in advance for the help

easiest fix is just grind down or cut off the portion that makes contact on your sliders, it really doesnt look like its going to be that much, maybe just a corner.
