Default Control Arm Problems...Help

Hey guys, i have a big problem. I am running a 95 teg and have tein basic struts. Every big bump i hit the upper control arm hit the top of the fender liner. I was driving on the interstate last night and hit the mother bump of them all. This is what it did



What can i do to fix this. I know i can always raise the car up a bit, but does this happen with anybody else. Any info/response/feedback would be appreciated. I know there are people out there that are lower than me, but have not been expierencing the same problem.

Did you take your bumpstops completly out? If ont I would say you are too low with too soft a spring.

I used the bump stops that came with the TEIN system. they are only 1.5-2 inches long.

Sounds like your springs are too soft, or maybe the bumb stops are too soft.
