Lightbulb stacking front coil spacer? HELP

hi i am new to the forum, and was wondering. I have an 03' ram 1500 2wd with a 2inch front spacer. I would like to get a little bit more hight out of the truck and was wondering if anyone has any experience with knowledge of or thoughts on stacking another spacer on top of the one that I already have? any help or thoughts would be great,

get yourself a set of spindles for that 2wd to add extra height tothe front. Block the back. i wouldn't stack blocks or spacers. Just doesn't seem like a good choice. Just my thoughts.

Stacking spacer is a no-no. When you add a spacer, you are already crunching the spring way more the it wants to be. Stacking a spacer could result in the spring unloading awkwardly, causing the spacers to roll out and dropping a spring in the middle of the road. If you want more height, lift it. When it comes to getting height, dont do it cheap. Do it right.

Thumbs up thanks 4 the info. New plan how about this? also need lots of help!

thanks for all the imput it gave me lots to think about. wont go with the stacked spacer. I am interested in the spindle lift though. As you know I have a stock ram 1500 with a 2 inch coil spacer, so is the spindle lift something I would add on to the spacer and if so what brand do you feel is best? and are there any mods also involved in the spindle lift? would also like to get a chip, my engine is the 4.7 v8 any thoughts? thanks for your help and time

You could try a strut spacer, I think? Just get a spindle lift. They are around 700 to 8oo bucks I think.
