The Fabcraft idlers are either 7" or 5-5/7" , the small one is to small for my upper idlers, (won't clear shock eye) yet I want them to match. Can I run the 7" idlers on the uppers which would make them 1/2" higher than the stock ones. This will decrease tunnel clearance but is it really an issue ? Looks to be more than enough tunnel clearance to sacrifice 1/2" . I could drop them down a 1/2" but then I'd loose some transfer and I don't want that. I just thought I would bounce this off you guys to make sure there's nothing I'm forgetting.

As long as you have the track clearance to the tunnel protectors, I dont see it being a problem
