I would run it so that the hanger is trying to drive the spherical onto the bottom bushing. Rather than the hanger trying to drive itself off the spherical, and relying on the bushing to keep it in place.
the more machined side is ment to face the hanger, just as SteveC said its so the spherical is forced towards the hanger and not the other way round...
shericals definately restrict the potential hanger lean.
What happens at the extreme is the outer part of the bearing hits the kingpin.
But it's more complex than that, the further from the center the bushings are
the further they have to compress inwards to reach the same hanger angle.
You do get to design the seat differently though, as you're not relying on the bushing to keep the hanger centered. So you can let it push sideways more than would normally be a good idea.
Hey thats amazing!!!

Back to the smokies turn stop issue, went for a roll last night and still found the front truck had a distinct stop point.
I pulled the kingpin and bushes out and checked the bearing and all was moving freely, then I noticed a small washer on the underside of the top Jimz bush. it seem this was fouling on the bearing and limiting its movement, when removed truck moved freely, now running this washer on top of the bushing under the large bushing washer and I have full movement in the truck
