The wet bolt comes in different lengths. They are sized for spring width and hanger width. Dexter provides the wet bolts.

Dexter specs the hangers @ 1.82-1.94" wide inside. Lippert installed hangers that are 2.059-2.062" wide inside.

So if the hanger is 1/4" too wide, the bolt, when tightened, will cause the hanger to bend inward when the inner hanger is held square to the spring and pivot bolt.

If you do not have X Factor braces the hangers will be pulled in about a 1/8" on each side and you probably will not notice it. Get your digital gauge and measure hanger width at point of attachment to the frame I beam.

This is not rocket science. The hangers are out of Dexter specs and neither Lippert or Keystone will accept responsibility.
