Here's the ones I took last night. (No measurements of mounts)
1st thing I would check to see if the each set of mounts are the same from one side to the other. (Wrong bushing used?) Also if you see one that apears to be smashed may want to check that the tube (item 4 in bolt pic) was used.
2nd would sugest taking a torque wrench to the bolts to see if they are the same. (Could be that one is to tight or never was tight.) Could not find torque for 1st mount, but all others were 15 -24 Ft lbs. Would say front should be the same also.
Also included the one of the door wedges.
3rd add or remove shims...

The one I had to show the front fender to door gap was not clear. Will try to get it later if needed.
Hope these help.

I am not saying they have the measurements I haven't actually looked but LMC very detail I ordered all new bolts and washers etc for my kit that I already had from them
