Is the front shock on the passenger side supposed to mount in front or rear ofthe control arm? The Driver side mounts to the rear, but the air bag base plate for the passenger side is going to require the shock to mount in front of the control arm, and it is going to hit the arm that runs fron the frame back to the lower control arm.
I am using the stock control arms.

the bracket for the passenger side is a mirror of the driver side, meaning both shocks mount to the rear of the control arms.

Each plate should have a "P" (for Passenger), or a "D" (for Driver) stamped into it.
Please check to make sure that you have one P and one D.
