Just an estimate, but I would say down 3/8" and back 1/2"

I've got more questions.
The instructions say
32. Assemble upper shock bracket to coilover as shown. Add ½” washers to both sides of shock. This will help prevent shock rotation. Reservoir should be angled to middle of JK on both pass and driver sides.
Here is a picture that I have pre assembled. It says to add a 1/2 washer but the hole is way to big for the hex head and way to small to fit over the stud through the top of the CO. On the colored copy there are washers right next to the blue rubber........

Looking at the directions, there appears to be a total of 3 washers. One on the bolt first and one on each side of rubber INSIDE of bracket. Nut side does not show one.

That's what I'm talking about!!!! There are no washers!!!! or provided in the kit
So take a lunch break and make a run over to OSH, take the bolt with you.

I've been to OSH 3 times now!!! I'm ready to call it quits until Monday and talk with someone on this. These things dont match up!!!
See if they fit inside the rubbers, I bet those are bushings just like a regular shock has.

The ones zip tied are from king, put those aside (don't use them ) use the ones included with the kit

Not the same, these are machined specifically for the rockstars

Those in picture two? When I tried to fit them in at the rockstar they where super tight. Is that the way it should be?
The top. Per the instructions picture there are washers right next to the blue rubber. Is that the way is should be or a open gap with no washers?
That makes more sense
