Raising the rad support - how high is too high? #1356146 04/19/2020 11:50 PM

I'm up to about 1 1/4" between the support mounts and the crossmember. I've got good measurements on my cab mounts, as per the assembly manual. I can build a spacer for the rad support gap, thats no problem. Anybody (or everybody) go this high? Any other tricks?
