I ordered a OME Medium Lift and Rusty's Poly Spacer. Does anyone see a problem with this setup. Jasonk said he couldn't fit the spacers in the assembly <link here>. I am also going to run Rancho RSX17505. There are people who run Daystar's 2.5" spacer lift with stock springs and Rancho shocks, this spacer is way smaller, only 3/4".

lots of difference between stock springs and even medium duty OMEs Jason K was right with the Heavy Duty OMEs you have about all you can to get the spring in there let alone any kind of spacer. Thats with using the stock top plate also

You are going to need a new top-plate to fit both the spring and spacer in the strut assemeblty. With the spacer, OME spring and new top plate, you essentially have a frankenlift front strut assembly.

Where do I get this top plate? All J's? How much is it? Jasonk also mentioned even if he was able to fit the spring/spacer in the assembly his shocks (Rancho RSX17505) would be blow out.

i dont have the ranchos, i have the ome fronts, but this shouldnt matter.

the top plate will allow more room between the top plate and the lower plate, so you can fit that poly spacer in with the springs.

without the different top plate, you will kill your front suspension if you try and put the poly spacer along with the springs. just not enough room.
