I'm not the expert by any means but stacking 2 spacers doesn't sound like something I'd want to do. The silicon will not stop them from shifting if there is any lateral force applied! Personally I'd lose the 1" front spacer (and sell it to me..seriously) and get a kit with a larger front spacer than the back (Rubicon Express: 2 ½ front x 1 ¾ rear or Rough Country: 2 ½ front x 1 ½ rear). That would lift you and remove the rake.....safely.

I would call Tera Flex. I know they sell a spring that is for the front of a 2.5" budget doost. Sounds like you could probably do this and not run a spacer, and it would be safer too.

Lots of people have stacked spacers without a problem. A taller, heavier rate coil is always the best option, but you shouldnt have problems with what you want to do.

Just for clarity... the Rough country rear spacer is in fact a 2" spacer... unless they changed something.

See....I told you I wasn't the expert!

They told me on the phone that its 2 ½ front x 1 ½ rear...about 2 weeks ago. Dunno, maybe it changed.

The silicone sealer will not hold them together. If anything it will help them to slip apart.

I have known people to stack spacers, I dont think it is the best idea but they didnt seem to have a problem with it.
