I recently got some freeride sabre bushings, the purple ones and on my Lacey and on 50 degree Randals with Stimulas, I still get wheel bite when my skate tool can't tighten anymore. Anyway to stop this?

Try a cup washer on the bottom.

Failing that, get harder bushings.

ride faster

dont turn so hard

put some raisers on the board

make some cut outs

lose some weight you midget :)
try a harder bushing boardside.
You need to break them in. Sabre bushings are notorious for causing bite when they are brand new but after a few hours riding they will be sweet. Something to do with the mold release i think. I always put mine on a board with indys and big cutouts for a few hour to break them in before i put them onto my intended setup.
thanks, yeah i remember someone saying that at hopkin

and as usual, don't overthighten! The nut should only hold the bushings in place, not squeeze them.  If so they will die much sooner and the lean will feel horrible. 

If you still have wheelbite after they're broken in, I would try in that order:
1) cup washers

2) harder bushings

3) risers

4) cut outs

 

rubbing them on grip tape works well too.
dont squash your bushings dude , Baz said they need to break in
