    I have a tuff country 3 inch spacer suspension lift. I was looking to get billisteins soon. Can I combine these lifts?

    nope.

    You're currently running the stock shocks, right? As long as that's true, you can use the 5100 shocks, as long as they're set at zero, for NO additional lift.

    Why won't they combine. Just won't work or not good for truck?

    You will have no down-travel left in the shocks.

    No problem. If you want more than 3", the best way to do it (since you have a prerunner), is lift spindles, and then billy's on top of that. Spindle lifts are okay to stack something else on.
