Default 6" Rough Country and 2.5" Level

Just installed the 6" rough country and some 37" nittos. I have two leveling kits, one is already for someone but I have an extra one. Can I stack the 2.5" level on top of the spacer for the 6" Rough Country, or no?

goin good man.. just trying to piece everything together.. my lift was 3,400 with add a leaf and dual steering stabilizers.. now ive gotta buy gears tires and rims.. gonna space it out some and figure out where to buy gears * no idea what im looking at lol*
itll be a couple months before its all done but well worth the wait..you should post up some pics of your truck man since mines gonna look pretty much the same lol.. considering those nitto mud grapplers but unsure theres alot of choices

According the 6 isn't enough you wont..he tried and found out the rcx kits front crossmember is actually only a 5 inch drop while the spacer is a 6 inch thus its truly a 5 inch lift with a 1 inch lift already installed you can however put a 1 or maybe a 1.5 level In there

revive this thread. i want to do the 1.5" spacer on top of the rough country 6 inch. has anyone done it yet or no. i saw a guy with 37's and that is what he said he had done. but i want to hear from someone that knows what they are talking about. based on what i know it should work, because if the 2.5 works with the stock stuff then the 1.5 should ride like that 2.5 on the 5 inch drop.

Just to clarify.

Are you asking if you can add a 1.5" spacer on top of a 5" spacer that came with a lift kit?


If so I would personally not feel safe riding around on that- especially if you abuse your truck like I do. I would recommend having a set of custom spacers made...
