I didn't see Chris' post until after. Odd though. I logged out and could still see it. (Odd or suspicious?).I'll try again.

Zee, when you say the slides may be too high....what are we talking about here, .001" (which could still cause some binding) or something more...like .005" or more? If you lower the slides too much the hole the piston rod fits into may become out of line then. Just thinking out loud. Fixing one issue may cause another.
It seems the crosshead would be the easiest part to remake. I kind of doubt the cant theory too given how you machined things. If you shave off a small amount from the underside of the crosshead, it would do the same thing as lowering the slide a bit. If that frees things up then great. If t results in the crosshead being a bit loose in the slides you can reduce the height of the spacers to tighten things back up. That seems the easiest and safest route to me unless you find something else obviously out of whack

have you tried flipping the crosshead over? Or as the other cylinder works how about using the cross head from that cylinder? MAKE SURE YOU MARK IT THE RIGHT WAY UP FIRST! Try the suspect one in the running cylinder.
Not convinced on the need for a DRO on the lathe but on the mill they absolutely transform the ease of machining parts - no more mental arithmetic or worry about backlash - I couldn't go back to a mill without one fitted now.
