Default Lift Kit Help!

This may be a stupid question, but I'm not very educated on this subject:

How do different types of lifts work as fas as stacking them?

Can you stack more than 1 level kit? Say two 2" level kits, would you be able to do that but instead buy longer U bolts instead of the ones they come with?

And how would stacking a level kit, body and suspension all work? (Or can you only stack bodys and suspensions)

Thanks for any helpful input!

What are trying to achieve here with all these stacking questions ? If you were to "try" and stack two 2" level kits your UCAs would be GRINDING on your springs ! It's definitely not safe to stack blocks. What's your budget and height your going for and maybe you can receive some help at that point but get the stacking stuff out of your head.

12 inches between body and suspension lifts is what i'd like. (Since leveling is a no-go.)

12 inches? Why such a big lift? What are you going to be using the truck for?

Just always loved the look of a big truck on some huge tires, and to have some fun of course! Obviously won't be a daily at that point though =p

At that point you would need to re-gear. Better start saving those pennies!

Check out Rize Industries. I know they have an 8" lift, and then you can put on a 3" BL. That'll give you the lift you want to achieve. That said, you'll definitely need to regear.
