Did I do something wrong?

I think you might be ok. I wouldnt have cut the bushings, you just have to push the shit out of everything to get it all together. Shop that did mine did the same thing the first time and said they couldnt get it together properly so they just did whatever. When i came back with my issue, they did it right, for free i might add, with zero issues.

Funny story too, their master mechanic was the one who handled my return and when i explained the problem the desk lady was getting all up in arms and saying it was my fault for installing incorrectly, and the mechanic was like..."Hey, shut up, i remember these, we did them wrong but thougjt it would be fine, obvioisly not, give them to me and ill correct them, for free." Theyll probably get my business again

 

Nice !! Yeah I only had to shave like 1/16 of the bushing. I don't see why it wouldn't work right. My jack was lifting the truck off the ground so the lower control arm would not go any higher. Plus the freaking washers are thick! The only thing that sucks is the top hat . It's rounded inside so I'll have to change that soon. Shit I'll be a pro at putting shocks in here soon ! Haha

 

Haha after a couple times of fucking with the front suspension, its easy now lol. Coilover swaps take about 10-20 minutes per side now lol

 

Looks like you over torqued

 

I would do it the way it should be... Maybe you'll be fine with your cut bushings, maybe not...

IMO, things are designed for a reason and if you follow instructions correctly you'll be just fine, if not... well lets hope there's no problem in the future!
