How tight is too tight?
Im installing new differential mount spacers (Big Rubber Spacers). The fsm says 65-77 ft-lbs. Im concerned because im squishing the rubber part of the spacer pretty bad... am i doing this right?
Old and new spacers
After loosening a bit, no where close to 70 ft-lbs

Are you experienced?

You need to run the MMR individual camber adjusters with spherical bearing control arm bushings. You will need the spherical bearings since it will be your only source to allow the free-play in the control arms for camber/toe settings.
Those are not diff snubbers. Neither are they MMR diff bushings.

it almost appears you are using TWO "crown" mounts per side, for a total of 4 "crown" mounts.. if so, yeah you've got it wrong, there should only be one per nut, one on each side of the diff, and then the 2 mounts on the front of the rear subframe, the one that has that extra 14mm nut and bracket.
i don't seem to remember any of my subframe mounts compressing that much.

i am running mmr hard mounts, i didnt know about the dogbone camber adjusters uselessness in my situation. looks like i will have to save up some money for the other kind. as for now its set at the stock length and everything is installed and im sure not taking it off at this point. as of right now my engine setup will be stock, i am trying to fix up the suspension for a future bad *** set up
i did not make the lateral links they were on the old subframe so i snagged them, they are just like camber adjuster but lateral link size
and thanks for the input! the news about the dogbone is depressing but helpfull
Heres the front
