As suggested above it does make sense to use a quill adapter/riser to be able to use an open face, clamp on (threadless style) stem as opposed to buying a new single piece quill stem. That way if you need to tweak the fit later with a different stem length it's a quick swap without removing brake lever, shifter and tape.

If you need to raise the height of your bars this Dimension riser will add over 3"...

Yes, the numbers are indeed confusing. You need a 7/8" OD quill to fit the 7/8" ID of your 1" OD steerer tube.

edit: I see your wrong size single piece quill stem has an open face, but going to a 2 piece riser/adapter/stem may provide more stem length choices, albeit it doesn't look as clean. Looks like that Sunlite quill stem is available in 22.2 but maybe only in silver. Make sure the bar clamp is 25.4 to match your Crazy Bars. Should it be 26 just get shims to adapt to 25.4.
