    1/4" is all your gona get on there safely. That works out to be a little more than 3/8" lift.

    You'll need longer top cap studs, like these: I have a pair of 1/4 top plate spacers if you're interested.

    get a 2.5 inch lift. so long as you don't plan on using the travel of your suspension, you can get a 2 inch spacer up there. the spacer comes with stud extensions so you don't have to worry about stock length.

    you can get away with stock studs with 1/4 spacer.

    I had 2.5" lift spacers on the old factory shocks and coils, dont think it would be a good idea to put a spacer on top of 881s

    i assumed you were stock since you didn't mention your current setup and reffered to it as stock height. please include more details before expecting a viable answer.

    As of this moment i have 5100s with ome 881 coils on the front. I have Dakar leaf packs on the rear. I want to know what size spacer i can fit on the top plate stock studs (not extened). I would rather not pull the coil apart as i hate doing the job lol but will of i need to. I have seen most people do a 10mm (3/8") spacer on top of the 881s
