Magnum Roller Lifters

I thought the OEM lifter/spider will not work over around .525? Was told the body of the lifter will hit the spider above that?

First time I've heard that. I've also been running stock Magnum lifters with a ~.550" lift cam for years with no issues. I can see how it would happen with really high lifts though and at that point it would probably be better to go with lighter and/or solid lifters.
