    I have dobinsons IMS and it’s fantastic. I do have 3/4” lean on the drivers side. I’m wondering if the bolts are long enough to add a 5mm spacer to adjust the lean. I really don’t want to disassemble the shock/spring to add longer bolts. I’ll post a pic below. Thanks in advance

    Yes
    3/8" spacer should level you out just fine.

    Looks like you have more than 5mm of threads remaining on those studs, so a top plate spacer would fit. 5mm won't take out the lean though. You'll need about 3/8" (10mm).

    Dobs sells a spacer for this type of situation. IMG_5434.jpg I bought one but decided to just dissasemble the coilover and reset the seat height.

    Is there any room for a 3/8”? Might be cutting it close.

    Do you have to use the dobinsons spacer or will any 1/4” spacer work. Thanks!
