determined the shocks were rubbing the towers a hair when the upper shock bolt was tightened all the way, AND when the top bolt was tightened all the way would bind the shock cap not allowing it to rotate as it needed, not enough room to add washers to fix both issues, so i just left the upper bolt slightly loose to allow free motion, and loctited the hell out of it. sanded down a washer really thing to use as a spacer to distance the shocks from the tower, weirdly its only on one corner that they make any contact, can see where it had buffed the blue off on the other corners from dirt getting in there, but no contact otherwise. may try getting long M4 bolts to run through it? kind of a pain to find shoulder bolts with the threads like i need as that would be much preferred, threads rubbing aluminum is not a good time.
so tempted to find new shocks and kind of retire the Powerstrokes... but holy $%#% are they so nice and plush when allowed to work correctly.
