[Shotimes] Raising steering rack for lowering springs

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Bruce:
 The problem is the stud length will limit how many washers you can install.
Most people can get 2, maybe 3 per side. Anymore and you don't have enough
threads left for the nut. At Lowe's I found the hardened washers. 14 mm full
height. This will get you about 3/8". Not enough but an improvement anyway.
Some people have also used 2" fender washers with a 1/2" diameter center.
These are thinner and you can stack more about 6 per/side. Plus with the
thin washers you can raise the rack and fit them in. The thicker washer
require a subframe drop. I prefer to loosen the 2 rear subframe bolts
because you have a bit more room to work!
