OME 884 question, extended studs??

Just recently bought OME 884 coils and I also have the 10mm top mount spacers as well. I'm still on the fence about whether or not to install the spacer also, but would like the option to install it later on down the road if needed.

Question: I recently just bought new KYB top hats which came with new studs. I'm wondering if they are long enough for the potential addition of the spacer later on. I know wheelers offers an extended stud kit for my exact spacer I have, but when reading the specs it says the extended studs are 1.5" long. Well when I measure my studs supplied with my KYB top hats they are roughly 1.5". So I'm asking if you all think I need the extended studs for future addition of the top spacer? Posted below are the pics with the spacer and how much thread I have available for the nut. It's about 5/8" of thread. Thanks!

No you will not need longer studs with just the spacer as pictured. As long as the nut has full engagement the threads sticking out the back have no purpose other than to guide the strut mount into the tower during installation.
