    Looks like the upper control arm hits the shock hose when there is full suspension sag. Am I able to listen the hose the chage it's orientation or would that make it leak? Should I buy a tubular upper control arm since those are less fat than the icon aluminum? If so. What brand would have good clearance?

    I had to loosen one fitting on the kings in order to get them routed correctly. You should be fine just go slow

    Loosen reservoir clamps and rotate if you can

    Play with the height and clocked position of the reservoirs.

    Tubular control arm may work better. Maybe ask the manufacturer for advice.

    Instructions did mention to make sure the fittings were routed correctly. But nothing more than a single sentence. Couldn't find anything online about it and didn't have the balls to just losses the fitting. Appreciate you replying. Will do this.

    Wasn't able to twist the reservoirs because the fittings are pointed out a bit.
