Question Anyone running 6" lift with 2" spacers

I was wondering if any of our members were running 6" suspension lifts with a spacer on top of that. Any pictures they could post also have yall had any problems with this setup.

If you are looking at going with 8 inches of lift I would go with a full suspension lift that way in the future you can go higher much easier than if you had a 6" lift and a 2" spacer.

Yeah if you're a 4WD owner then just splurge and get the 8" Rize. If you're a 2WD owner then you can't do that. I have heard of plenty of guys running a 6 + 2 though with no issues. I'm actually considering myself, but Hawaii recon laws limit on the amount of lift you can do to a vehicle. I couldn't add a body lift if I wanted to because of the 3" limit on frame and body distance. Everyone that brings their truck over here with a 3" body lift has to have them removed.

Your angles wouldn't be too bad, but they could be better.
