    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Hmm..the angles look pretty bad cause the arent OEM boots which shouldn't rub at 3" or so or lift. But they are slammed haha I think your still closer to 4". But the skids will help a bit. Hopefully no problems are caused for a while tho.

    Oh believe me I'm a huge fan of stacking washers but not on something that sees the amount of torque that a diff mount sees.
