Does anyone have any good, reasonably high-res pics of these installed? I’m trying to verify the placement of the washers / spacers on the outboard tapered stud that presses into the wheel carrier. It seems like there are two washers below and two above, but trying to verify.

Thanks!

This is coming from my suspension 101 training where I was always taught that when the car is at ride height and bearing weight, lower control arms would always be horizontal, level and parallel to the ground. I'm guessing that those washers are there to help you achieve this. So, your ride height will determine how many washers go on top and or bottom. Since you're taking it to the shop for CB and alignment, they should placing those washers where needed one they dig in. For now just eye it as best as possible.

Take some pictures of the install and post em up also. 👍🏽

I swore I had a video for a front carrier replacement but I guess I never got around to editing it. You're talking about the tapered stud that seats inside the carrier?

Yep, that's it. Going to ring RSS tomorrow and ask...given this is a one-time use bolt, I have to imagine there's a "right answer."

Had a chat with RSS - the recommendation is two spacers above the bearing, two spacers below. This works for 90%+ of cases. The remaining 10% or less is where some additional roll center adjustment is needed in very specific / unusual / custom setups.
