Top plate and shim combo?

Can you combine the Daystar 2.5 spacer lift and top plate with 3/8 shim together? Can you use just the 3/8 shim instead of the top plate provided? I am guessing I can only use the top plate.

Should be able to
I mean with the age of yours, springs sagged out you're not going to be too high I doubt
Just in case measure from middle of the wheel to bottom of flare, if you are over 22.75 to 23 then it may put you too high.
Also do you have extended bumpstops
Or wait have you even installed the Daystar yet?
IIf not you'll need longer shocks in the rear and also should replace the front hocks as well
Won't tell you that if you do all of that a full spring is only a few bucks more

I combined all 3 on mine before I went with OME springs. But I am 2WD. Not sure your CV angles will let you. Follow Tom's advice, and you will be safe...

I have not installed the Daystar yet. I did install the 3/8 shim and the clevis lift a couple weeks ago and it measures 19 from center of wheel to bottom of fender. I am getting extended bumpstops and longer shocks and 1 rear upper ISO for rear. Parts should be here next week. I guess I will try the shim and spacer and top plate together and see what it measures. I will let you all know how it turns out when I am done. I know I need the OME springs and shocks all around but just not in the budget for now.

if you are at 19 with clevis and top plate, you will be fine adding the Daystar to that.
