What do you mean they are hitting the top ears in the rear end? Like the bushing mounts? Or the differential housing? Jack you ride up and let your rear end hang. Adjust your uppers to fit shouldn't have a problem. If it don't line up them send it back. But if it's hitting the actual rear end body then maybe your pinion angle is wrong. I set my pinion pointing down three degrees. Hope this helps. If not tell me more about your problem.

My Trick Chassis UCA's hit my Moser 9" bushing ears as well. I just notched the ears a bit for clearance and now they're fine.

Do you have a part number for the Gbody upper adjustable control arms? I have never seen a Lakewood version for Gbody only Abody to 72' and even those people had issues with them hitting the ears on the rear end.
