Default Rear QA1 shocks clearance issue

While installing the Spohn pro-series rear drag sway bar and some rear Hal-QA1 adjustable shocks today. We noticed a clearance issue between the shock and the Spohn sway bay. The adjustment **** on the shocks doesn’t have enough clearance and will hit the sway bar. Ended up rotating the shocks so that the adjustment **** is facing the LCA's and gained a some extra clearance. Anyone know if this will work or are there any other solutions for this problem.

I had the same issue with the same shox and bar. I used shorter links on the bar to move it above the ***** and left them facing inboard.

I flipped the ***** out with a BMR Extreme bar.

Just wanted to see if other had any problems with them hitting or breaking off the ****. We're going to leave the shocks with the **** turned out facing the LCA's. Hopefully we want run into any other problems.

I have the same setup and switched the shocks around. I have had no problems.
