Lifted 87 2wd struts with 4wd springs

So I accidentally bought some 2wd rear struts off da ebay for my Rx and it sat too high... so I decided that the wagon could always use more lift so I swapped the strut on the wagon with the 4wd springs. It was a tight fit, but I got them on sans a single washer on top of the upper spring perch. Now the wagon makes all kinds of noise from the rear, like the struts are blown... like a knocking. Is it because there is too much tension on the struts due to the longer 4wd springs?

My EA81T coupe does a little of that too.. new KYB GR2s in the back too, and none of the bushings seem loose or rotted.. I haven't thoroughly troubleshot it yet.. I also need to put in fresh front sway bar bushings because I KNOW that thing's making some noise... good luck.
