Stacking blocks is a bad idea, and if you stack leveling kits, your front end is going to be shot.

The only way to lift it that high properly is with a lift kit.

NOOOOOO!!!!!!! If you have to ask that question then you should not be doing suspension work. Sorry to sound like an ***,but that's a disaster waiting to happen and hurt people.

What everyone else said. That is dangerous. Sad truth you have reached the limit on affordable lift options. Time to pony up the money and get a real suspension lift.

Yeah you reached the end of the line here. (actually 3" is already I bit much, any more and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't even be able to get the front end reassembled)

Bigger tires will lift it more?

Other than that, time to drop that diff!

oh... I read "MuddinMatt" and assumed 4WD.


There are a lot of cheap kits 4"-6" for 2WD, will you be doing the install yourself or getting a shop to do it? (I hope shop after reading your OP)

depends on how you want to build it. Baja Kits might comment in here soon offering some knowledge and solutions for 2WD as there are a few more things you can do with them, but for starters...
