that way it has to twist the whole 12x4 or whatever the material is, instead of just the thickness of the metal
i would helicoil the bushing but yea if u tried to go all the way through you would need a super long bolt
Im gonna go home and sit and stare at it. Thats what I usually do.

why the hell would you helicoil it? you tap it before you put it in and your good to go.
basically the material you used for the spacer, make it longer, whatever it takes to go through the frame. then tap it all the way down.
now drill a hole though the frame weld it where you currently did, then weld the backside, now take a plug or whever you choose, weld over the hold in the backside, filling it, then sand it smooth.
Now you have the whole tube to keep it stronger and from twisting and ripping. and you dont need a long bolt because you only need to go through the shock and into the threaded section some, not all the way though since the threaded section will keep the strength
heres a little sketch
because the material he used for the spacer that your suggesting he use again has a fucking 1/2" bore and therefore cant be tapped for 1/2" thread, and either way it goes hes got a spacer/bushing at least 2" leave the 1" closest to the shock as a bearing surface to absorb the load instead of putting all on the fucking threads.why the hell would you helicoil it? you tap it before you put it in and your good to go.

then get new material or get a bigger bolt
heli coil is hack unless you are fixing something someone stripped out

easiest thing for you to do is put use the same bushing and put a helicoil or keensert in the frame end, the other option would be to get a smaller bushing, put it in a lathe reem one side to ~.505 and tap the other side to what ever your bolt is
only thing that i see with where they are mounted is that i think they will try to twist the lower links. bushing wear may become a issue.
i only say this because i have a similar problem with my lower link setup on my OBS

because the bag mount sits so far out from the frame for clearance, it has a lot of leverage on the outside of the bar, causing it to twist. making the bushings take a weird load on them.
this was before i braced the link and shit.
