ls7 lifters pushrod length

Yes I've looked around and almost all threads were a few years old with no consensus on if you need .050 shorter pushrod or not. Some people say it is a direct replacement for our lifters now, and others say that the plunger is not as deep. (which it isn't as deep). But then I've also heard that there is more plunger movement so it compensates for the shallow plunger.

Now that these have been around for awhile and lots of people are running them is there a consensus yet as to if stock pushrod length will work or do I need to order .050 shorter?

Ramair95TA is running these, and weighed in on almost every thread about this and seemed to support stock pushrod length will work. Would love to hear if you still support this.

I still stick by them, but you should ALWAYS measure to be safe. The tool is cheap.
