The hell with that...lol. I guess I've done too much wrenching on my back, in the past. I don't care to do that anymore. Not just that but it is also my daily and I don't have all the tools necessary at my house. So time wouldn't be on my side without a lift. I just can't picture cutting, grinding and painting the crossmembers on my back.

lol I'm young. But I also know once I put in the lift kit, everything else I do under the truck is going to be much easier cause I'm going to have a solid 8 more inches of space after lift and shoes.


Being my daily isn't so bad, I have a job where I am not required to go into the office but can work from home and I have enough family nearby that can drop me off or pick me up if need be. The scariest thing for me whenever climbing underneath my old car was it falling off the stands or the stands giving out. That was a mazda 3, my truck weighs a bit more which furthers scares me.

Dude, don't stack blocks or spacers. There's too much that can go wrong with it (shifts in position, bolts breaking, etc.). Do yourself a favor and just get the coilovers for the front and crank them up to 8. Or leave them at 6 and get the spacer. But don't stack. @techrep might be able to advise better on why doing that is a terrible idea. But EVERYONE I have spoken to on here and at my local off road shop all say not to do it.

Use chocks in back if you can. Or multiple jacks for added safety. Id probably do the back first if no lift. But that's also cuz my driveway has an incline.

Does anybody know how tall a jack would need to go to allow me to install a 6inch lift and 35s? And if I were to just jack the front up, where would be the best place to put the jack and the stands?

1. Lift front, remove tires, lower on jackstands under the frame
2. Remove all necessary components
3. Install all components
4. Jack up under LCA, install tire, remove jackstand, lower side
5. Repeat step 4 for other side
6. Do similar for rear

i would contact rough country and ask them if it would mess with the geometry of the control arms because your stacking a spacer on top of their gigantic spacer. Could be to much of an angle for the control arms and then you would be blowing ball joints left and right

Am I the only one that thinks stacking spacers is a bad idea?

StrokerSteve

I would agree, definitely not the best idea

There's no need to contact Rough Country. For liability reasons they are definitely not gonna recommend stacking anything.
