You are referring to the Welmeister kit, I presume. As far as exact dimensions, it doesn't matter. You could use anything from 1/4" to 3/8ths. What happens is that the further you raise the steering rack, the more it binds in the clamp above in the smuggler's box. At some point, the steering u-joints begin to bind as well. I've had to shorten the diagonal steering shaft on 2 cars to keep if free. And that is with a conservative lift.

IMHO, the kit is next to worthless given the fine selection of adjustable bump steer kits availble for the steering arm. Elephant comes to mind. There are at least 3 others, too.
