Installed a 2.5 inch leveling coil spacer on a 2014 ram 1500 2wd. I replaced my upper control arms prior to the install (with mevotech) brand. I'm running into an issue with the correct ones ordered and installed on the right side. The driver side clears fine, but the passenger side for some reason seems to not have as much clearance and bottoms out when I go over a large bump with the new coil spacer installed. I did not look at the stock control arm before removing it to see what the difference ones. Has anyone had any similar issues? I also have shock extensions on my bilstein shocks. Other than that the truck drive fine and goes over small to medium bumps well, it's when I get a decent bump or bad rail road tracks, I can hear it hitting.

I don’t know if the Mevo Techs are designed to work on 4x2 trucks. Could that be the issue?

I've looked on various websites and they didn't state 4x4 or 4x2. The ones installed were designed the same as the ones I pulled out from the truck just heavier.

This is the current angle. I feel like new spindles would resolve the issue, but I can't be the only one that has run into this issue

The zone Ucas would take care of that. Also rough country has a set as well.

Arent those for 4x4? I've contacted the place I got my control arms for the mevotech and they said they work for both 4x2 and 4x4. Just odd that one side is closer to the shock tower than the other. Driver side clears just fine but the passenger has little room and then hits. I currently havebilstein, the non adjustable ones since it's a 4x2. Tried both stock and with shock extender and they both bottom out on the droop
