take apart a stock one and put some washers in it? of course measure to make sure it's the same height as the new ones.

The whole point is to use the lifter you are going to install. That way there are no height differences.

Travis, if you don't want to use a solid lifter, make sure you're are pumped up, and use a soft test spring.

make sure you measure both intake and exhaust, they very well could want a different length pushrod. mine does....

Yep, just get them pumped up and you should be fine.
