Damnit, my emails being shitty and wont let me download this picture. But the pison rod or whatever its called it pushed all the way up and when im driving it bangs on the frame in the back because it is so high up. What is wrong with it? I really wish this pic would work so you guys could see, i am on tokico blues with skiunk2 sleeves


edit with pic!

yeah literally when i put them on i rode for a day and i noticed some noise in the back and thought it was my c pillar bar but found out it was this, it's so high up that its actually hitting on that screw there. you probably cant see it

Looks like they weren't installed correctly. Did you put em in yourself?
Im sure you can drive around in them but your shock isn't putting in any work and its going to be constantly hitting the frame which can cause the shock to bend. If it was me id fix it asap.

Better not have driven on that...bad bad bad...

You're must be missing the washer that goes on the top of the shock on the step that keeps the shock from going through the top hat housing.
