Nice shots Rick, the first one shows the problem Dan mentions where the pinion spring has that boss on the underside of the input housing which requires the spacers under it to clear the mount. The other reason for the spacers is to correct bump steer by putting the rack at the correct height. That's a great set up with adjustable control arms, double shear plates and even some tie down loops discreetly slid in there. I would mention that increasing the heim joint size on the control arms from 5/8 to 3/4" doubles the strength of them.
