could safety washers work? they're only a few bucks and not nearly as wide a full misalignment spacer.

Don't worry, Ryan. It will be way down the build issue list at like #284 or so.....
...issues #1 - #283 all will have to do with having selected an LS.

I figure I know some people who can help but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.

The ORO hardware comes with what looks like 4 safety washers. I opined a page back in the thread that I wished they had sent 8, but I suppose they didn't because of the chamfered nuts. I wish I had taken a pic of them when I had them on the bench. They would probably work up to a certain shock length, but there's no question full misalignment is wider and I feel safer. I need to measure the exact width of the full misalignment spacer for others. My brain is telling me it was somewhere around 3-4mm.
Wow... Well shit, now I need to figure out a way to hold down the passenger side at full droop and bring the driver up to full articulation to figure out if the AR is what's limiting my uptravel on that side. It'd be easy if I still owned a garage with ground anchors lol.
Wouldn't I need both connected to see the bind?
Without a spring in I can get the shock to bottom out but when it's in its about an inch shy on the drivers side. Other than spring, which shouldn't be the issue given the Currie Compressed length, AR bind is now making sense.
(AR is always disconnected during my tests)
One link attached will show you if there is binding at the joints because it is still moving through it's normal range of motion.

This may be the missing link (no pun intended
in solving the problem we discussed in that pic of your rig a few months back!
Currently homeless but living in the bay. Looking to go more north to either the loomis or prehaps even truckee area.
Here's the nuts and bolts and spacers for the SwayLoc. I'm guessing that you're talking about the black spacers? And the nuts have a shoulder on the backside.
I know you already have this fixed but you'd said that you wished you'd taken a picture of them.
Edit: My kit is about 2 years old so this may not be the same as what others received.

That's the same hardware kit I got. Yes, those are the spacer washers @someguysjeep mentioned. The shoulders on those nuts were not really enough IMHO to allow full misalignment of the heim. Thanks for the pic.

I can't imagine "living in the bay" and being able to use a personal computer or even a handheld device! How deep is it where you're staying?
