    I put the rocky road 3/8" spacers on this weekend with the OME HD and there is still some thread left above the nut.... somewhere between an 1/8" and 1/4" I would think without going to measure.

    I am running this same setup with great results, I am still sitting at just a hair under 38" on the front fenders with only 265's. On the rocky road website they say the spacer amounts to 9/16" of total lift.

    I just measured mine for the hell of it, im just over 37" and am running a slightly taller tire than you guys.

    Curious... for you guys measuring close to 38", whats your center-of-hub to fender measurement at ride height and then at full suspension droop (jack up from the crossmember).

    I'm trying to remember when I measured this, but pretty sure I was under 2" of suspension droop with my current setup. If you guys are almost an inch taller....

    If I recall correctly I sit somewhere around 38 inches but I have 285/70s

    EDIT: I just looked in my garage thread and I was at 37 3/4 inches when the tires were new.
