Lift kit question
I have a 6”bds lift kit for my truck right now I have rancho quick lift struts on the front I was wondering if I can put the spacers from bds on the top of the struts or do I need to get the stock struts

So, let's clear up your sentence a bit.
You currently have a 6" BDS lift kit.
I'm assuming it's not on the truck.
You currently have Ranch quick lift struts on the truck?
If so, what is it set at?
Are you trying put the BDS 6" spacer on your Rancho Struts?
if so, yes, you can keep the Rancho struts but set it at a 0 lift and then put the spacer on

If that is the case, than using those with the spacers would put you at the equivalent of about a 3" level for your suspension geometry which isn't great and I wouldn't personally do it. Most lift kits give you 5" of drop via their brackets (which is what BDS's is) so you would be 3" above that. This would net you an 8" lift in the front.
