I just installed mine the other night, I didn't use any washers that weren't with the kit. I just tightened as far as I could with a 1/2 ratchet. Isn't the spacer you're talking about a poly bushing of sorts??

Ahh, there's the difference I used the AJE arms on mine.

Ls_Nova

yes its a ploly bushing...so is that the spacer that there talking about thats is supposed tightin up while tightining up the control arms..

the thing about this is the aje allows stock control arms to be used also and these were off a stock k member....but tubuler ...

Unstang

Yeah, the bushings kind of pull out when you tighten them down. I can't remember what I torqued them to.

Those bushings are desigened to do this to allow for different width of bushings on the control arms.

cool thanks...did you torque your control arms down...i just dont know
how much play to leave on the control arm..

You have the k member with the bolts and nyloc nuts. Sung them so the control arm moves freely and also use red loctite. You don't want the front end bound up.

I have control arms with rod ends so not a issue with mine.

I have done one the other way before with no issues.
