Default Lucky8 quick disconnects

So I need to replace the drop links up front. I bought the lucky8 quick disconnects to replace the original ones. I've been dragging my heels due to being busy, but when I put them together something doesn't seem right. I reached out and they saw I was missing the through bolt for the bushing where the other pin connects. But I am still feeling there is something missing. Anyone have these together and have a pic of them assembled? Maybe I'm just putting them together wrong...

If you get frustrated you can just run LR3 links and not need to disconnect for your average lifted disco when off-road. Run D2 front links in the rear as well.

you are indeed missing the lower mounting pin for one side. The one on the right is assembled correctly

They did send that one. I'm wondering about the metal spacers on the head on the left one. Its hard to tell, but they're not on that one, you can see the threading of the bolt. The other one has them, maybe one is supposed to be more flexible? I don't know..

Ah yes. You need those metal spacers on the left one too. You MIGHT be able to find at a hardware store
