    Hey yall! I installed a 3 inch iron man lift awhile back and feel like I didn't get enough lift. Thinking about adding 1/2 inch spacers in the front and back. Has anyone ever done this lol? Wondering if it would defeat the purpose of having a 3k lift on my truck. How much would it mess the ride up? I do a bunch of beach driving. Would it make a noticeable difference on the driveability ? Thanks yall

    What specific parts were installed?

    Also, stacking lifts is not the best idea, and 3 inch is already pushing the limits of what our front suspension/axles can handle. You're risking your CVs going out fast.

    What is your end goal?

    Pics of how the truck sits and it's installed components?

    It will max the control arms and you’ll have no down travel. Do not stack lifts.

    I just wanted a little more lift. The lift came pre set to 3 inches but only gave me 2 inches.

    Keep it at 2” IMO. ITS what I’m running and cv fins are not touching plus ride quality is great.Keeps things happy. Like others have said don’t stack lifts no good.
    Good Luck

    Well, I was confused but I’m better now. I thought OP was talking wheel spacers so had to read several times.

    I don’t think it’s been mentioned here but don’t stack lifts. :dancingbacon:

    The question isn't how much lift do you want

    The question is how much down-travel do you want
