I have one box that is flush with the joists and I'd rather not move it down to get it to stick through the sheetrock. A quick search doesn't show a solution for this problem. Was hoping there was a 5/8" mud ring, but I don't see any.

I was wondering if an octagon box extension would work, maybe I'll have to go play with them at the borg

Phil, that's what I want, hopefully in 5/8". You think an electrical supply would have them?
