So the shorter bolt was 2 inches this is a 2 1/4. much better getting through the nut but very close on full lock. a 2 1/8 would be perfect i think. anyone know someone that make custom bolts?
You won't need a customer bolt here. There are several styles of all-metal locknuts that are shorter than the nylon insert style that came with the kit. If you cut the bolt down it will rust where you are missing the plating. I would just go to the local hardware store and find a shorter locknut.

So stick with the 2" bolt and find a shorter locknut. Yeah that makes perfect sense I am such an idiot hahaha I was so focused on the bolt size. Thank you!
You can use a "top lock" nut as SlowProgress suggested or no lock nut with red loctite with the shorter bolt. You can get them in flanged or not flanged in various materials and coatings https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/37278

Thanks everyone I got some top lock nuts I will install later today with the short bolts and see how those look. Thanks everyone for the suggestions

Any reason an extra thick washer on the "head" side wont tune you in at this point?
