coilovers with spacers

On a particular website, I saw pictures of Downey coilovers with Revtek-like spacers in conjunction to give more lift. Is this safe? I'm just confused because I don't think I've ever seen that before ...

has anyone seen that sort of setup before?

Given the dishonesty and ill-repute of the source, I thought I'd ask.

okay. I did some research on other forums and found the following threads which basically say stacking a spacer on top of a coilover is a horrible idea:

So that guy running 6.5" of lift is going to have his truck blow up on him. Great!
