Boilers top plate question

[LI02liberty]

Hello all I have a question. Is it possible to stack 2 plates to gain a bit more on the height ? Any opinions on it would be great. Thanks

As far as I know, the answer is No, you'll blow out your front shocks.

Bolts are not long enough to run more than one 3/8 top plate from any of the people who make them
you can do a top plate and a 3/8 clevis

With a stock Top plate, you can add the 1/4" spacer plate is all. If you want to go with the 3/8" spacer plate, or 2x 1/4" plates, you have to have longer studs in the top plate or you will not have enough thread engagement. You can add multiples. It is similar to an OTT budget lift. The problem with those setups that blow the shocks, is that they do not add extended bump stops. That is what the problem is...

Dad gummit Tom. You beat me to it!

And like he said, usually a top plate, and then a clevis too is all you need.

Thanks for the info guys. When I do the top plate an clevis I'll take pics and post them. But at the rate this winter is going it's looking like end of march when I'll be able to do it!
