    I would like to add another 2" of lift to my truck. Why? no real reason. I currently have sway away 2.0 coil overs in the front, Dakar lead back with bilstein shocks. I wanted to add a 1.5" greasble shackle in the rear and a Billet 1.5/2" spacer that I beleive goes on the top of the coil over. In currently running 33s with a little rub. My issue would be an I maxing steering and cv shafts out? I do have a diff drop up front and a Carrier bearing drop

    So would there be an issue with 1"/1.5" shackle I'm rear and a billet spacer on top of my coil over?

    I would like to do this I'm front and shackle I'm rear. I know stacking is looked down upon on here but I would like a little more lift. I am up for trying it. The only concern is angles. This shouldn't effect ride quality.

    Spacer lifts are like taco bell breakfast. It's a super good thought, then after you've done it you regret it...a lot.

    Anything above three inches, in the least you'll be burning through boots.

    You'll probably also need aftermarket UCAs or deal with the spindles smacking the coils.

    As mentioned, for more lift you'll need to go drop bracket.

    Another possibility is long travel.

    And also SAC.

    I'm pushing my front end geometry to the limit with OME 882s and 1/2" TPS but then I've got over 225+ lbs hanging off the front end and Icon UCAs.

    Boxrocket and some others are running a 1" bodylift with no issues. That might be a possibility.
