    Just buy a drop bracket list rough country sells the 5" or 6" I believe . Stacking lifts isn't and shouldn't be an option that's how you kill yourself

    Stop.
    Think.
    Read.

    There is a lot of suspension talk on this forum check it out. It is not safe to stack spacer lifts. Spacer lifts generally aren't the best as it is.
    Reasons its bad
    1. Ruin suspension geometry
    2. too much pressure on nuts and bolts ( yes that shit will shear )

    He's just asking a question.
    No need to make him feel small for trying to be informed.
    Give him some genuine answers.
    Don't be a dick.

    I mean besides the fact that's it's dangerous and you'll have about 2 inches of travel/ horrible ride quality. It's doable I think you might need longer bolts. Fuck it, your truck your rules
    So yes, you can stack these you just need long ass u bolts and the too hat bolts for your coilovers. ( I think) and depending if your 4wd ... you'll run into cv issues and all sorts of bad angles ... your UCAs will prob be basically on your spindle , won't allign . It will be bad. I don't even know if you can get 3.5 + out of our trucks without A drop bracket ? ( correct me if I'm wrong ) just talking from my current knowledge. There's some good options out there though if you do want a 5-6 lift up front, in 1 kit

    They don’t sell them for mine

    And I’m not stacking spacer lifts I’m stacking a suspension lift on top of a spacer lift bc if u buy the lifted n2.o shocks they don’t give u spacers

    And I’m not being a cheap ass bro the only lift they have 4” or above is 3k

    And it’s a pre runner

    Body lift would be a way a safer way, I personally shy away from them after watching someone tear cab from the frame in pismo.
