Icon6 F&F Type2 w/ front camber kit

Does anyone have a problem with their camber kit hitting the shock tower?
I have function and form type 2 suspension and its about 2 1/2 inch drop (or maybe a little lower) and my skunk2 front camber kit is hitting the shock tower on medium sized bumps. My camber kit already made one bolt dent on my shock tower passenger side.
I'm already thinking about putting my stock back on or changing the bolts to a flatter one.
Any recommendations on what I should do? If so, let me know.
Thanks!

Yes, remove the camber kit, and throw your stock UCA's back on. Get an alignment and set your toe to zero. Also even with the stock UCA, you are still going to hit it on occassion.

This is a common problem with sliding ball joint-type camber kits, and just another reason not to use camber kits.

I was lowered about 3" when I had GC's on Koni shocks, using stock UCA's, and I have no dents in my shock towers at all.

Where do you think the R&D came from for the FF? (I believe I read this some were) The AMR's are lifetime warranty FTW!!!!
