The Innovators West dampner I got from Lem does use a shorter spacer, seems like .250 inch or so, but Lem would know for sure on the exact length. So maybe other brands would be the same situation.

Long OE snout with a "normal" balancer like that...
No trim required.

The stock length space is ~ 2-3/4" as best as I can remember.

Do you have a stock balancer you could compare the height to? If they are the same height or shaft lenght, I cannot see any difference, unless the wheel where thicker and rubbing something on the back side.
