I run mine with the rod end on the lower mount and the supplied spacer on the upper mount. I dont have any problems with them binding.

It will. Here is an artic shot of my latest project that has cheap old Maxx shocks:

Another way to free up some binding is to use Traxxas rod ends on your links. They have a bit more room to move than the stock TLT ends.
