You could stack them ONLY if you welded them together. Problem with stacking is them collapsing.

Personally i wouldn't stack spacers upon spacers. If you're looking for more height in the front, i believe Unlimited Rubicon coils up front will give you a bit more out of your spacer lift because it utilizes that heavier load rating.

If it helps, i've been running my BB for 2 and a half years now and it's time for a solid, comfortable riding suspension system. Searching for coils and components / saving for an actual system, (but which one??)

I wheeled a 3/4" spacer on top of a 2.5" spacer for almost an entire year. I wheel pretty hard in the rocks, have my sway disco'd and drive pretty fast on rutted out dirt roads. I've had zero problems.

You have to be careful on this forum... A lot of people with good intentions offering up advice, but often times its all based on a presumption. The spacers can not collapse. They slide over the cylander that holds the bump stops. It is impossoble for them to drop out. You can remove your spring all together and they will still just be hanging there.

Having said that, I recently swapped my stacked spacers for a set of OME HD coils. I did this as I have a winch etc... I ended up still running with the 3/4" spacer up front.

yeah, it may not look pretty but, you can do it and you won't have any problems. just make sure to put the steel RC spacers up on top, the TF 1" spacer up against it and then the factory rubber isolator on it. trust me, i've done it before and you'll be fine.
