Default Stacking coil spacers?

I tried searching for the answer, but had no luck...

I have the Rough Country 1-3/4" spacer lift right now, but would like just a little more lift in the front...could I buy THESE and put them on top of the 1-3/4" spacers in the front? Or is that a NO-NO?

Stacking spacers on the front is pretty common. The bumpstop tower holds them in place nicely.

Umm...technically you can stack spacers, but I don't recommend it and I don't know how many people would. I mean on the street I can assume you will be alright, but once you go offroading and begin to articulate, or take a sharp turn on the road, I don't doubt one of those spaces popping our or at least shifting over.

I wouldn't do it. If you really want more height than just spend the cash and do the OME lift or something. But stacking spacers isn't secure.

I have a 2-1/2" BB With a 1" spacer stacked on top. I see no problems with this and when I installed the spacers they were fitted snug. I highly doubt they would work there way out. I have had this setup since December with absolutely no problems and would recommend to anyone.

If your worried about them moving around, weld them together.

The Rubicon Express BB instructions tell you to use the factory spacers with their new spacers. They say you can put the above or below their spacers. I went by their pictures and put the factory spacer on the bottom up front and on top in the rear.
