Can I stack a 1/4” spacer on top of taco lean spacer?

    So I just had a lift done with Bilstein 5100s and 887 coils. Have about 2.75in of lift. A driver side 1/4” spacer was installed to correct taco leanage. If I wanted the front end lift another 1/4”-1/2” could I put a 1/4 spacer on top of the spacer that is already in place and then one on passengers side?

    Move the 1/4" spacer to passenger side, and put a 1/2" spacer drivers side. You may have to change to longer studs on drivers side.

    A second 1/4” spacer or preferably a 1/2” spacer on just driver’s side is fine. Will need longer studs however so it will now involve removing and compressing the stock coil.

    No. Just get different coils, sell the current ones.

    Sorry brother. This is the reason why we say, “buy once, cry once.” There’s no easy way to get it done. The 1/2” spacer on the driver side and moving the 1/4” space to the passenger side is a good solution, but other than that it will be an expensive fix. And moving that driver side up could require aftermarket UCAs because you’ll be at 3” of lift.

    Yeah I understand that, I guess I wasn’t factoring in that the quoted lift from 887s would change so much.

    And sorry I didn’t mention that I have light racing UCAs installed. Full dakar medium pack in the rear

    Def a good combo. I much prefer the look of your 285s. I just can’t justify them with the miles I drive at this point.

    Yeah I commute maybe 10 miles a day to work. My mpg went from 19-20 stock to 17-18 lifted with 285
