Default stacking lifts?

i am curious bout if anyone is doing what i am thinking about eventually doing...

that is get a rustys offroad 3.25 lift. and put 35s on my jeep.
then if the 35s become a bit to "small" in my eyes i was thinking about just puting a spacer kit on top of the rustys' coils to get the additional lift amount to run 37s. i will have new shafts etc when i do the the lift. just wondering if it is a good idea? and if anyone else is doing this same thing?

i am not really partial to bodylifts. just not my favorite thing to put on a jeep so i want to avoid bodylifts and avoid having to by a brand new lift.

thanks

It can be done, I'm planning on the same thing just not quite as much as you. I saw one vendor who was offering a 4" with 2" springs and 2" spacers. Just make sure you get all of the necessary parts to make it right.

I have a RK 5.5 mid arm with 1.75 spacers on the coils (cause i thought it looked like the bumpers were making it look lower ) I haven't had any issues yet.... a little more body roll though.
