You should have installed fender washers between the bolt heads/nuts and
the shock that will allow pivoting of the shocks.
BTW, I'm pretty pleased with my tube shock conversion so far. I
installed new springs at the same time, so I can't really say how
"great" they are as a straight swap from the levers.
