Default BB question...

Ok,

So this isn't the same old "which one is better...."

I have a Daystar 1 3/4" BB...but due to rake, I have only installed the front spacers and have nothing in the rear. Jeep sits perfectly level now. Here's my delima. I am wanting... nay, needing 35's so I was gonna install the rear spacers, thus creating the rake again. So my question is this;

Can I install a set of .75" spacers on top of my 1.75" spacers creating a 2.5" lift in the front and 1.75" in the rear?

Oh, in case anyone was wondering, I am planning on installing a 1"BL to clear those 35's that I want...nay, NEED!

absolutely you can stack the leveling spacer on top of the BB IN THE FRONT because they slide up over the tube that holds the bump stops, its totally safe and works great. Plenty of people have done this on the JK and the former TJ. However, stacking different BB kits or adding more spacers to the rear with a BB is something i would strongly advise against. i can only picture spacers flying out because they having nothing in the middle to keep them aligned. Maybe i'm wrong about the back, but i wouldn't ever be comfortable with it. The frotn however, You're perfectly fine to do so, so go for it

oh god no...I wasn't stacking in the back...I just don't have any 1.75" spacers installed at all back there. Completely stock. I will install the extra .75" up front and finally install the 1.75" in the back along with the 1"" BL so I can finally get the 35's I want...nay, NEED on there. I already have the rubber.

I was running some Hankook dynapro RT03 35" on my wife's chevy truck, but she has me installing a new 6" lift for her this spring...so she'll prolly be runnin' 37's and I'll take her old (new this past summer) 35" tires.
