97-03 fabtech 6" lift issue
Wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

My Right front (passenger) side control arm rubs the radius of the drop bracket. This occurs at the rear lower control arm bushing, not the leading. Yes I installed the kits bump stop brackets and yes my factory bump stops are there. The kit has been on for over a year and have had no other issues out of it save for this when the control arm travels all the way.

It has made a notch in the radius of the drop bracket. I am thinking of die grinding it out a tad more. Anyone else had this issue

I'd say screw it, and let the arm do its thing. it will eventually notch out a completely clear path for its travel, anyway.
