I believe I measured about a 1/4 inch on mine. Sand the base of the stand flat and use the thin gasket under it. Also make sure your push rod ends are not worn.

That seems about right . . . as long as you have the correct push-rod, you should be good to go.

I recall the lift is supposed to be 0.20”… a bit less than 1/4”.
