Yea, weeds idea might work...and they are ceramic, they wouldnt weld.

but you might would be able to SLOWLY drill through the two and maybe bolt them together, as long as it doesnt have a chance to slip I think you'd be alright

That's actually a pretty logical route that Weed suggested. Curious if that would lead to any issues down the road?

Well I can tell you along with my 3" RC spindles and my 3" CST springs, ive got my coil pad/isolator (normally on top) on the bottom of my coil and a 1" spacer on the top of my spring. Thats how I get my 7" lift. I havent had any issues but obviously cant go any higher of a susp lift

However, im doing my 3" BL this Friday>>>> ;-)

Do you have a lift in the front or is it just gonna be 3.5"' inches taller in the back? That would look a little weird to be honest if you didn't have a lift on the front. That would be a helluva rake on there.

I've never stacked blocks on any of my other trucks, because they aren't really that expensive but i'd be interested to see if it works. Throw some pics in here.

dont stack the spacers. do what weed said.

Blocks are not bad to stack if done right, i have my 99 with 3 inch blocks stacked on 4 inch blocks. Ive had the suspension maxed out in every way to where its ready to tip over but they have never moved so i dont see a problem.
