What if I put a 2" spacer on top of my 6" spacer? Dont know how practical or safe it would be. But The rize 8" is kinda pricey

Yea you would never wanna stack spacers, not a good idea. Here soon I'm going to be needing new tires here soon and will be upgrading to 37's and add a 2" leveling kit on my fabtech 6" then just add an AAL in the back

Just go buy 6" coils and a 2" spacer. Or 8" coils. And if you want quality replace your blocks and springs with 6" springs. Its like 500 bucks but it improves ride quality. And id you want the factory rake put a 2" block on after that. But bigs blocks have popped out offriad for some people
