Strange Two Way Adjustable Shocks Clearance!!!!

I have a Moser twelve bolt in my car and these strange shocks do no clear. The ***** don't clear the rear end housing. Anyone else have this problem? I have three huge washers on them right now and they barely clear. I am talking about the rear shocks amd these are the double adjustable by the way. I think I might have messed a **** out last night while testing, probably due to rear end movement. Any input?

Everyone shims their HAL's with washers. No big deal there... pretty normal I think.

I've seen shocks mounted upside down to clear the *****.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why not just turn them 180 degrees so the **** faces out?

The ***** are 180 deg. apart on Strange double adjustable shocks so turning them 180 deg. would not change anything.

what shock mounts are you using? I have the Madmans and it helps. turns the shocks 90 degree's and takes the load off of them when the rear end twists
