How thick are the spacers that SLP installed on the SS cars?

And because of their location, one would have to raise the rear of the car MORE than the thickness of the spacer to maintain the same travel as before the spacer. Isn't that correct?

I'm planning to use them (or something similar) for a specific reason.

First off the car works great as is. BUT because I want to I am moving from 17x11's and 315's in back to a 17x12 W/335 tire.

In doing so I want to make the car as close as possible to what it is now.

AND after some carefull measurements and a pretty serious flare added to the stock sheet metal, I want to raise the car. To maintain the exact same amount of travel from the axle to the bump stop I will need some sort of spacer.

So I guess my question is how thick a spacer will I need to If I raise the car 1/2 inch, and still maintain the exact same travel from bumpstop to axle......

How much AT THE BUMP STOP does 1/2" at the fender equal?
