I have a set of these on my 2500hd, they work great, ill grab a pic of mine, im pretty sure you have the clevis turned 90 degrees off.....not trying to be a D#$%, just saying....

That's the only way you can put them on a 1500. Otherwise they hit the CV boot.
They're Sturdy ass f**k, as I was breaking stock straight bolt links all the time.

On a side note they squeak a lot (rubbery sound), I hit them with some blaster when I put em together but not sure if I need to go back and actually grease the shit out of em. Anyone have any suggestions?

i put mine together with grease, no squeaking for me. i would try to grease the hell out of them, with the extra side load with it being in there other than intended, greasing them might be regular thing, to keep that upper bushing happy

i attached a pic to show what i meant, i know you had to put them in upside down to clear. just want to make sure im understanding you

Ah I see, yea maybe I need to twist it so the bolt through the clevis is going from front to back rather than side to side. Correct?

correct, turn the clevis part 90 degrees, so the bolt that holds it to the link end is running parallel with the tire, then the link will be able to articulate as the suspension moves, and it wont be pulling at it on a funny angle
