That makes sense. From what I recall, I was thinking there are a couple of different angle sizes of the washers, but I could be wrong. I called a few sources to ask around--Offroad Design, Blackbird Customs, and even Rough Country. They all said it was common, but the guy at Rough Country didn't sound too convincing. He said it "should" be okay.

Your explanation sure makes me feel a lot better about it, though.
