    Before you read all this jazz I want you to know that I am very precise when I take suspension measurements. I measure several times to ensure accuracy and minimize error.

    HoKay, as an FYIer for ya and to get your thoughts..... I installed a 10mm (.393701") top plate spacer to my driver side and it only lifted it 1/4" :eek:. It is beyond me on how I got less lift compared to the thickness of the plate.

    According to Wheeler's Off-Road website it states that 10mm spacer should give 1/2" to 5/8" approx in lift. I really don't know what the hell is going on here. Below are my measurements before and after install of the 10mm top plate spacer.

    *****Hub Center to Bottom of Fender Measurements taken at 7,200 miles on 11/2/12. Additional weight added: Bumper, Sliders, VR8000-s, RI 20" SR LED, RI Duallys (2,933 miles since suspension install)
    FD: 23 3/16" (-5/16" from previous measurement)
    FP: 23 13/16" (-5/16" from previous measurement)
    RD: 25 1/16" (-1/16" from previous measurement)
    RP: 25 1/16" (-3/16" from previous measurement)
    Based on the measurements above the Front Driver's side is 5/8" lower than the Front Passenger's side, despite having an OME 5mm trim packer installed.

    I installed a 10mm top plate spacer w/extended studs to the Front Driver's side, which was supposed to give me an additional 1/2" to 5/8" lift according to Wheeler's Off-Road. Below are the measurements AFTER installing the 10mm spacer to the Driver's Side only.
    ******Hub Center to Bottom of Fender Measurements taken at 7,713 miles on 11/17/12 (3,446 miles since suspension install)
    FD: 23 7/16" (+1/4" from previous measurement)
    FP: 23 7/8" (+1/16" from previous measurement)
    RD: 25 1/16" (no change)
    RP: 24 13/16" (-1/4" from previous measurement)
