I think I screwed up. The roller spring perches contacts the upper arm where the arrows are. But only when I raise the front and the A arm is all the way down and I grab the top of the shock and try to center it in the shock tower hole. I haven't mounted the export brace or shock brackets yet.

Can anyone confirm this? Will reversing them fix my clearance problem?

I don't have the roller perches, but, I do have the perches mounted opposite from yours. I don't have any weight on the car (no engine) and could take a photo if you would like to see the difference.

they are backwards, with roller perches I don't think its a problem, when I installed my GW UCA's they stated to turn them around but that was for the stock ones.I have the roller perches as well. I'd email opentracker.....

Install the shock cap and the shock and recheck. The shock will limit your downtravel, and it likely will be enough to prevent the interference you see.

I reversed them this morning. Fixed the problem.

Just glad I found it before I got it all together and started driving.

Thanx
