Stop being a woman about it and explain how or why you are so butt hurt.!
Or, BE an effeminate , and just keep throwing your little passive aggressive insults around.

I went with the standard S&S lifters. I may regret it but to save some bones, I went against Scott's better advise & went with my stock push rods. Scott, I'll man up & post if I have any problems. Just hoping now that S&S cup height + pre load is the same as HD stock + pre load from push rods. I have tons of indicators (dial & test) so maybe I'll rube an indicator up top & test it.

Thanks to all who contributed, Bob

bob u can get pushrods from Harley maybe others that are like the stock ones but come in increments of longer lengths not sure if they fit budget but would get u some more load on the lifter than stock rods.
Harley perfect fit push rods 18400.03 is stock length 18401-03 is .030 longer there is a .060 longer but that would bottom out lifter I would think adjustable hd rods at 2.5 turns is .100 the 18401-03 would get u within .010 of the .140 mark. hd perfect fit all sizes 119from a 2015 se catalog

Johnson Hylift as ROCKOUT suggested. Great price and made in the USA. I like S&S products but their lifter prices are just crazy. Honestly I never buy parts from Harley, anything they have can be had for cheaper and probably better quality from the aftermarket.
