I am only guessing that the lower a arms need to be reversed.
That is , exchange the lower arms right to left - left to right.
I thought I heard of this problem before.
Give Armadillo a call.

holy crap, the same thing happened to me!!!!!!!! i have works triple rates and armadillo a-arms. the base of the shock retaining seat touches the a-arm eyelet. this does not allow the shock to pivot like it should. you got to have works put extended eylets on the base of the shock. i did this and it is fine now. pm me for more details. been there done that!!!
