diy adjustable strut rods

Finally installed the strut rods. One thing to consider when using 13” adjustable tubes that my Heim joint brackets used 1/4” thick washers. The pivot point for the heim joint can vary due to what brackets and washer you use
What did you use to mount the Clevis to the K-Member?

In the C-Body link he used a 5/8 bolt and what looks like factory bushings and washers, which to me, defeats the whole purpose of making these in the first place if they are not mounted solid to the K-Member.

I know this thread is a year old, so are there any updates on how this is working out for you and would there be anything you would change or done different?
