But all I did was go to Home Depot and bout lots of metal washers and added til the crank stopped hitting the tray. No problems til now

The SLP spacers are a good option, I just turn out a box of my own on the lathe - they're ~ .200" thick. Sometimes I just add a little dent to the tray as well to clear the tight spot as the rod comes around. Look for .050" clearance.
