ive been thinking about putting the daystar 1.25" spacer
http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/96024rundstrlift.htm
on top of my OME 881 springs and 10mm spacers
creating about 3.5-3.75" of lift on the front.
or i could switch out the 10mm for the other half 1.25"
maybee it will be a little less lift when i get my plate style winch bumper made.
will this be too much?
this is my DD (about 60 miles a day roundtrip)

You never want to stack a spacer lift on top of a another form of lift, puts too much stress on your upper BJ's. Get adjustable coilovers if you want to crank things up a little higher.

If you want more lift go with a small body lift.

If you want more than 3" go with a small body lift.
But remember- regardless if you're driving it on the street or doing serious off-roading, LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY is the key. Unless you drive an American pickup and live in the south, there's no reason for 28 inches of lift.

why do we bother to make these signatures for under our posts, if nobody bothers to read them?
i already have a 2" bodylift
i was pretty sure that 3" was about the limit, thats why i'm asking to make sure
but i know there are guys running more
also confused about the whole coil-over vs. spring/spacer statement if 3.5" is too much, it shouldnt matter how you get there, too much is too much, right?
