Need help!! Issues with drop hanger/shackle install

Well I think I messed something up or a part is wrong. I bought a 4 door shackle and hanger kit for my 2door tahoe. I got everything installed went to set it on the ground and the shackle hits part of the body in the rear as well as a bumper support bar. I followed a guy's instructions on FSC.com and did exactly what he did. Are the 4door tahoe shackles taller than drop shackles for the c1500s? I'll post pictures shortly.

Need help asap!

The drop shackles are the same as on trucks. I had a 4-door Yukon with shackles and I currently have a Suburban with shackles and hangers. The shackles were/are within a hair of the floor on both of them and I had to beat the floor up a little bit above the hangers on my Suburban for clearance.

Truck and SUV are different in the rear floor design.
