    They will move it up to 1/2 inch. 1 inch would run out of threads. You can use washers and it would be alot cheaper.

    ordered from ekstrom design. included 4 pieces of 1/4" shims. i installed 2 on each side for a total of 1/2"

    unsure where you seeing anything more than 1/2". maybe 2 kits ordered and 4 shims installed each side?

    that'd give you 1". there's PLENTY of bumper mount stud to move it forward 1". but, you'd have to order TWO sets of shims.

    EDITED: See my post below; no way to get anymore than 1/2".

    There is now way you can shim up to 1 inch on these mounts. These washers are exactly 1/2 inch. There is not enough threads left for 1 inch.

    Toytec has their shims which are a little cheaper.

    tundra234 is absolutely correct. no way to get 1". pic below of my setup. unsure why i misremembered those studs being so long; maybe lack of space and it seemed like it took a while to remove each nut.

    apologies for the misinformation in prior post.

    @Tundra234 - you're at a total of 3/4"? 1/2" washers + 1/4" shim? NEVERMIND... i see what you did. you're a total of 1/2" using washers only.

    Yes, I did washers only until I order shims. I had to shim forward due to the bumper that I am using.
