did you cut the bump stops in half.
bumpstops equal those sponge looking yellow things, sitting around the polished shock rod.

This might seem really silly but did you take off or otherwise cut a large portion of the OEM dustcovers off? A lot of people seem to forget about this.
Also, are you sure you installed the washers, bushings, and nut together correctly?
Let us know how it goes.

Also how much did you drop it? The control arms could be hitting the inside fender wells.
