I'll draw a simple layman's explanation out for you two.

The bolt head does not come in contact with the top of the spacer. It comes in contact with the top side of the upper a-arm.

News flash : the balljoint moves. Keep reading ...

When the a-arm is lifted 3/4" the angle changes in relation to the top of balljoint in it's original location. That angle difference is the taper.

If the taper was not there, the balljoint would be pushed outwards.

Obviously a drawing is needed to explain to you both.

I didn't expect this from you guys.

You make something that has been an aftermarket product for years overseas for the same vehicle and you get bashed for it.

First off I wouldn't get my panties bunched up about people who are experienced in the feild, and engineers(KevinC) questioning you about your product. It seems like they're asking for explanations, and not bashing your spacers.

Personally, I do not have a full comprehension of the system that is being modified, so I Really can't make a judgment one way or the other. It's going to take pictures, diagrams, or some other way for me to understand what loads are where, and if this is an acceptable (safe) modification.
