Do the shocks have the limiters in them? They should have ~5/8" of spacers inside each rear shock.

If they don't, the rear arms will drop too much and allow the bones to fall out.

There should also bee small springs in the axles that keep the bone seated in the transmission outdrive.

This was a issue I don’t think they ever resolved in print. Using the old manual will show you the three needed per side, or jus...

I am also trying to figure out the right spacers to go between the o-rings in the shocks...

You would have to make them. Typically you would shim a cvd or universal, but with a dogbone you are stuck with washers and springs to do the job. Remember a longer outdrive might engage the bone more but will also limit travel more too. Most problems come down to way too much droop or improperly sh...
