    Ted,

    Actually the fronts are the only ones that come close to interfering, but I have mine on and there is actually about 1/4" to 3/8" while the suspension is at full droop. As you load it the clearance will actually grow! By the way the 5855 is for the rear, the 4855 is for the front. The only problem I've had so far is the bushings are different than the Koni's. Hope this helps!

    Since the A arm and shock are mounted by the same bolt, i took the arm out and installed the bolt through the shock and A arm. (I had to install a smaller sleeve to get the bolt to fit well in the smallest QA-1 bushing).
    Once this was done on the bench, I could see that it was necesary to grind a bit off of the a arm to avoid interference. See previous posts.
    Ease the edges, paint it and it is done.
