Default One Ton Garage (OTG) camber/spacer shims QUESTION

Hi all, I've searched and searched, but couldn't find a definite answer.
I currently have the OTG camber shims. I now want to add the rear spacer shims.
Do I need to buy longer bolts if I want to stack them? I read from a few threads that it's needed, but I just want to confirm.

Thanks for any input!

I would think you'll need longer bolts. Stacking the shims wouldn't leave much thread engagement otherwise.

plenty have done it.

Most have used bolts that are 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer.

Yeah, it's made to be stackable.

Update:
Van just replied, and yes, you need longer bolts. It is confirmed!
Thanks all!

I stacked. Van included longer bolts since I ordered both style shims at the same time. He may send you the longer ones if you ask.
