i am using fortes lower control arms the bolts seem to long on the inners i used a washer to space the bolt back so it doesnt hit the frame,
has any one else run into this?

Everybody has, that's the most common fix, short of grinding down a 1/4 inch of threads.

Since the bolt is shouldered, I always recommend cutting 1/4" off the end. That keeps the bolt fromratteling around in the hole.

Yep, as above, I had to cut about a 1/4" off the end of the back bolt on both sides of the frame to keep them from rubbing the uprights. One suggestion if you do cut the bolts ... run the nut on as far as it will go before you cut the bolt, chamfer the end of the bolt a little after the cut, then run the nut off. The nut will help to realign the threads.

I hit mine on the grinder, took all of 5 minutes.
