Default Transfer case spacer-weird

I'm pretty new, so forgive my ignorance.
'
Will a 1.5" T-case space work as well or better than a 1" T-case spacer? Doing my first lift (3" and will get a SYE and drive shaft in 6-8 months or so) and want to MAKE SURE there aren't any unusually vibes due to the angle of the dangle, until I do it "right" with the SYE. I know I "should" be o.k. with the 1", but if I'm REALLY going to be o.k., and the spacer will fit-I'd rather go that route for the 6-8 months and NOT have vibes.

Another dumb question, does installing the space make the T-case handle sit "lower" by the 1 or 1.5"? Would the 1.5" make it sit too low? Just ordered my 3" Zone lift and need to get a space set for my 99'. Thanks.

I would not go more than 1". Any more moves your fan dangerously close to the radiator. If 1" doesn't work, you'll need an sye. I do have a 1" t.c. kit that I did not need for my 3.5" lift. If interested let me know.

Man, I'm glad I asked.

What brand or style is it? Hollow bar or machined cylinder style? Metal, Delrin, or Poly? I'm buying one today so if you catch me in time, let me know via PM. Thanks.

Also, does it include the screws?
