Tried 1, 2, and 3 spacers. No luck. I can clearly see that there is room between the thrust washer and the housing. I put a quick video together to illustrate what I'm experiencing. This is with the spring barely tightened, and the belt isn't connected to the front. Back barely spins, front spins freely.

If I back off the spring, the rear spins like the front does. I have 5k diff fluid in the back and front.
Same thing happens when I switch back to the Slipper assembly, so it's not a RCShox V2 issue.
