Can you stack lift and level on '06 1500?

Hey guys, I'm brand new to the forum and I really need your insight on something. I have a 2006 1500 SLT with a 6" procomp lift on it..I'm looking to add 2" to it. My question is can I run a 2" strut spacer on top of the procomp lift? Is that even feasible? I guess I'm a little lost on what my alternatives are to get 2 additional inches besides a body lift (which all I found was 3"). Any input is greatly appreciated!

I wouldn't recommend it...your CVs will be hurting if you do.

Go with a body lift

Stacking spacers is never a good idea.

I'd recommend the body lift as a much better route.

The procomp lift is a knuckle lift, would that kit also have strut spacers? I realize it wouldn't help my CV's out very much, but this truck is mostly a street queen, so I'm not too worried about anything breaking.

Even being a street queen you will break CVs left and right if the angle is to bad.

it's not how you use the cv's it's what angle they are at. body lift is a better idea than stacking spacers.

Okay I can understand that. So it looks like a body lift is my only option if I want to go higher?

If the PT# of the lift you have is 56746MX, then yes, you already have strut spacers installed.
