    Well then!
    Headstrong site says they include extended studs because you need them for 1/2" spacers

    I've got "top hats" from Headstrong that were installed on my shocks/coil I bought (from Headstrong).....I have 1/2" spacer on both sides, with an additional 1/4" on drivers side (to compensate for dreaded "Taco Lean") (Tophats are the round pieces on the top of the coils where the shock fastens....) (1/2" spacers & 885X coils for a total of 3" of lift)

    I don't think they install the extended studs, but may have.....From memory, I think these new studs are/were the same length as the originals.....I could be wrong. I was once....a long time ago....

    In any event, go with what Marie (@ Headstrong) tells you. She is the authority. I'm just cheap and do a lot of home made shade tree mechanic shit.....

    You have a full on lift though, so you already have more than me. I'm straight stock.

    I'm a cheap ass too man! That's why I asked you, I could tell you were good people at the meet :). But I'll ask her as well!
    Who/how can I fix that 'lean'? I don't really see it on mine, but I'm not whipping out the yard stick next to my truck either lol

    Just so you're aware.....and you may already be....if you change the studs, you need to dis-assemble the shock/coil. Studs press in from underneath the top hats. Top hats must be removed first.

    Can be done without a spring compressor....just look up you tube video on how to do so.

    Well fuck all that noise! lol
    I don't have a garage or know anyone who has one big enough to use. Got most the tools though, no spring compressor.

    Measure from center of hub to underneath fender opening. Do so on both sides. USUALLY (but not always) drivers side will be a little lower. USUALLY, but not always, a 1/4" spacer on the drivers side will take care of the problem. If you get same measurement on both sides, no need for spacer.

    So I'm getting the Headstrong spacers from @dut for a considerable discount, not that important as they're new prices are fair, used but appear in great shape!

    Now I need to know how to install them lol. Anyone have tips? I've found a garage to use
