Should I shorten my upper control arms

[Jsouder53]

Lately I’ve felt that my only issue was my bumpstop colliding with my track bar bolt, but I just cycled my rear suspension and noticed my upper control arm bracket collided with my sway bar link and looks like it’s on both sides. Should I shorten my upper control arms?

Looks like your axle is too far back... and the spring is bent a little too..

Here’s mine:

Your LOWER arms are set too long.

I appreciate your response. So best way to adjust that would be to shorten my lower arms, then adjust my upper arms for my driveline angle?

Yes. Ideally you want your axle to be centered in the wheel well at full stuff. Then adjust the uppers accordingly for you driveline angle.
