Ok well there is a tsb for renforcing the the spring tower already. They are a weak link in the front suspension. Lowering the springs let's call it the upper mating point will add to the stess point. The three little bolts that hold the spring spacer in place I would not trust at all.

Just read that whole thing in one sitting. Head hurts. Need a beer. Gonna go home and combine my 5 inch Rough Country with my 5 inch Skyjacker. This 10 inch lift is gonna be sweet!

Whoa.
I thought of something.

Let's say a stock spring is 12" tall. Add a 2" spacer. OK.
Going extreme, say you use a 7" lift spring for 19".
Now, knowing how coils work. When compressed they want to spit out sideways.
Squeeze a pen spring.
Add a spacer, just adds another seam to fail. Something else to fall out of place. Adds looseness.
Works on a small stock spring, may work on lift springs, but not advised as it could possibly attribute to failure. Not that it will or will not.
Not RECOMMENDED.
Thinking of the springs bolted on the bottom and loose on the top, if your suspension flex enough to allow the spacer to fall out.... ooh. Trouble.
Sure, possible to flex stock. But unlikely. Lift suspensions usually flex way more than stock.
Either way, I get it now.

Ah faaaahhkk lol
Now if I weld two stock springs together and add a spacer I could get 14" off lift. Put in two 3" BL's for an additional 6". Stack blocks in the rear, offset with double add a leafs to raise the back. Remove the shocks, as they're to short anyway.
