I've heard of there friction between the two causing binding. I also tried to look up the torque for the Allen head bolt but couldn't find any information? I'd also assume no lock tight is to be used on the Allen bolt? Should the two move freely "in your hand" once the Allen bolt is tightened?
Yes.

I'll have to check my torque arm shock mounts from speed tech torque arm to see what angle they mount them it so I can order the proper laser cut mounts from you.

What may not be clear is that we do not lock down the shock head to the jack bolt with the bolt. We use a smidge of blue Loctite on the countersunk allen head bolt & tighten it just far enough so the shock head mount still swivels. Although not required, I typically put a dab of anti-seize in between the end of the jack bolt & the shock head mount. Then it turns easily, even when loaded.
