Tophat mounts.Dunno exactly but about 1/2 an inch.I just used some aluminum around the shop and drilled it and stuck it under the sway bar mounts.

Top hat mounts. Sway bar touched. Did the same thing as Sil240 but only used about 1/3 inch scrap metal to make sway bar spacers. I'm not really happy with it though. I would like to look into get either the oil pan or sway bar modified.

Also, a piece of the hicas gets in the way of the passenger side mount. It was a pain in the arse to work around.
