i am not trying to be a jerk here so please don't take any offence to my questioning but if you hit a bump and the spring compresses i think it will hit the fenders. i went out today and put my shocks on and i am a little concerned about putting dents in them if i hit a rail road crossing or a bumpy intersection. i guess a bit of driving time will tell for us bothtk
