you can try it. just see what the angles look like. if it doesnt look safe throw the spacers up for sale here. worth a shot. if i had an extra $100 laying around id try it because i know i could sell the spacers on here for what i paid or a little less. and its worth losing $10-$20 for teh experiment ..... if you lived closer to me id take mine off throw them on yours and see how it looked. because if this did in fact work ok and didnt strain the components this would be awesome.......

yeah try it out. if it all looks good. let us know and snap some pics. try and get a deal on some spacers from the classified section. i see them for sale every now and then on there. if this works im going to be soo happy. cause im going with all new shocks in spring anyways. this way i can longer shocks,maybe get the 2 inch longer springs and keep my 2.5 inch leveling kit (should work the same as stacking 2 spacers) and then 2 inch rear blocks. but then ill need some nice looking 35s like yours.

i would try a 2 inch. its not going to hurt anything just putting them in and see how it looks without driving it. if it looks bad simly take them out. the install is really easy. only problem i can think of is brake lines and speedo cable ondrivers side. when i was installing mine i had to stretch them to the max in order to lower the lower control arm enough to get strut assembly out. My gut feeling is its not good but am interested in seeing the angles anyways.

YOU CAN NOT STACK THEM... it wont work dont spend the money..
Before i ordered mine I MADE a Strut Spacer the measured a Total of 3"..
Tried everything to get it in..
compressing the strut you can get it in but, the angle on the CV's, and tierods will not work, you will not be able to use 4wd, and you wont be able to turn very well..
just buy a 2.5 " because the actual measurement is only like 1 3/4" overall..
After i fought with mine all day to realize it wasnt going to work, i ordered mine off of ebay for 50 bucks shipped.. because i didnt want to mess with making another.
I still have the ones I made, id take pics but it snowed and i cant find them..

If you could find a way to drop the lower control arm, axle housing, and steering rack, it would work.. but then buying a 4" or 6" lift is the only way i know of to get those parts..
