Default Help with rear shock assembly

ROW M030 rear shock and spring going on a RSS rear shock mount (similar to tarrett/elephant racing)

RSS mount came with spacers however. One for under mount, one for over mount.

Elephant racing claims to only reuse factory spring perches.

To retain the bump stop and lower mount spacer i figured id need the lower washer also?

but something looks off.

Any feedback?

Looks like your spacer/washers are in the wrong place according to the diagram.

The diagrams show OEM Setup . The "instruction" sheet shows what Elephant Racing requests to reuse from the OEM setup.

I'd suggest using a small wrench to hold shaft, and a crows foot or similar on the nut with torque wrench at 90 degrees (if crows foot is perpendicular to the shaft of the torque wrench, you don't have to do the math to calculate extra length).
