when you're moving fast 3600+ lbs is quite a bit of weight to stop

anyway, about the brackets: mine did the exact same thing. i just used it as an excuse to buy adjustable lca's. it has happened to quite a few other people as well. i contacted UMI about it and they said that it's an installation error. they'll talk you through it on the phone but it won't work(it didn't for me at least).

on the lowest setting mine actually pushed the rear back so far it caused the driver's side spring to rub the upper panhard bar. had to run them in the middle until i got the new lca's. also had to grind down the metal spacers on the rod ends to get them to fit into the bracket. all is good now though.
