    I'm just thinking if the fittings are too tight.

    According to the thread I found the picture from, you can rotate the fittings.

    So you'd rather go through this hassle than listen to a trusted vendor (headstrong offroad) that I quoted above saying it's perfectly fine, and this is a common thing? Or are you saying you don't want to do it yourself and you'll have the shop who installed do it.

    have the shop that did the install do it. I paid them to do it, they can do it the way it should've been. Although I feel like going to do it myself lol. But rather just let them do it. Since I paid them enough to do the install they can correct the mix up.

    I'd first see if you can just rotate the resi yourself to fix it, because if you can, it'll take no time at all and save you a headache. If you can't then I'd take it in and let them deal with it. I agree, that they installed it, and they should be the one to fix it if it's anything more than a super simple fix.

    I've been going to the same shop for 8 years now, know the owner personally. I'm sure I won't have the slightest headache about it lol.

    Its canadian thanksgiving on monday so I'll swing by on tuesday I'm sure he'll put it on the lift right then and there and correct it.
    I'm also just really hesitant to do it myself cause its raining out right now lmao.

    As much as I can til' my wife blocks my Amazon account...
    I've used 1.5" wheel spacers from Sixity on Ebay and works like a champ...any decent brand name I'd feel safe in buying. Kinda hard to mess up a chunk of billet aluminum.
