    Hey guys,

    Just installed 885x and .5 inch top plate spacers on 5100's (at 0) my 08 DCSB. It put me at 3.5 inches of lift. Looking back, even though it was a package from toytec, it sounds about right. 2.5 from spring. ~1 for the spacer. Well now I'm pushing max and my stock UCAs are near to beating my springs. It rides alright, a little stiff, but I'm worried I'm pushing it too far.

    I am going to take out the top plate spacer, but I'm worried the new bolts are too long for the nuts to go all the way down. Anyone have any experiece taking a top plate spacer out and using the longer studs? The threads start higher up and I'm worried the nut won't be able to tighten down all the way.

    My hub-fender is currently 24" on both sides.

    Thanks for any help.
