This. Do not stack a 6" spacer and a leveling spacer. Its asking for serious trouble.

If the lift comes with new coils, then go for it, but dont stack two spacers. And dont put one on top and one on bottom either.

can you provide a graph and data to back this claim up?

im sure its not "best practice" but people have been doing it forever, and doing worse things too.

also, when did i specify a 6" spacer was involved...

What about like a 9 inch wide wheel with a -12 offset

If your asking me, I have no clue. My offset is only like between -10 and -15. I'm not sure what it is. My wheels stick out about 2-3 inches. I know I am going to get 37's sometime, but I have no clue what I will do.

Replace rear with lift springs. Then add a leaf or small block. Thats easy. Then a 2.5" level on 6" lift coils up front. That outta do it. Maybe do a homemade 1" body lift just for extra inaurance
