9" and banging the body?

I've heard a rumor that some people have trouble with a 9" hitting the body above the TA mount? Anyone experience this?

I'm at stock ride height, and mine hit at first. It fixed itself, but I took a hammer and gave it a little more room afterwards.

go drive around, hit a few bumps, put the car back in the air, and you'll be able to tell right where it hit, take a "whacking device" of your liking, and give it some extra room....shouldn't hit anymore...mine kinda took care of itself, and i'm lowered about an inch...

This is happening with my Moser 12bolt. It was a PITA because when I hit the body it knocked the diff cover loose and its been leaking ever since no matter how many timnes I tighten it. Adjusting the LCA's forward a bit helped from knocking it but now it looks like Im gonna have to reseat the diff cover and lay down some new RTV to get it to stop leaking...
