Anyone running these shocks? I have them on my jk and they are rubbing the frame. What have you done to correct the issue? I don't want to get different shocks because I like the adjustability.

Metalcloak makes some brackets that would solve your problem.

Nemesis industries makes a similar bracket. What you've got to watch out on is to note that the brackets typically move the shock up to where you lose uptravel and gain downtravel. An ideal combination would be those brackets (front and rear) paired with longer shocks for "stock" height.

Post up a picture.

I ran them for two years with a 3 inch lift and did not have an issue.

When you are flex out the shock body will indeed contact the frame. Probably haven't noticed cause you have been in the vehicle when flexed out or never though to look
