Stacking Level?

[67CumminsWalterrr]

Right now i have a 5inch rough Country lift installed on my 2014 ram 2500 laramie 4wd no rear air bags. Im wainting to go bigger and know stacking a level is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to do so. Im looking into it i want to put a 2.5 inch coil spacer on it to give it some lean and sit higher.
I have the 5 inch 36773c lift on right now had it on for 4 months and got a few thousands miles on it

I’m definitely no expert on suspenions, but there are plenty on this forum & don’ recall ever seeing any of them recommending/suggesting it’ a good idea to “stack” lifts.
I guess a lot depends on how you use your truck & your budget. I think our trucks look awesome lifted, lowered to, & I’m not one to say why are you even lifting it in the first place.
In my experience trying to go with the cheapest option will cost you more in the long run.
Best of luck whichever direction you go, would like to see your end result with some pic’s of course!

Generally would not recommend doing this, but if you are talking about some typical spring pucks/spacers it should fit. Not sure I would recommend 2.5" but maybe more like 1.5" or less. Here are the specifics that run through my mind:
The kit you have has trackbar drop down brackets and new radius arms that should help compensate for the 5" lift kit. Assuming it corrected the geometry to stock tolerances, adding an additional spacer lift on top of the existing lift kit shouldn't be much if any different than adding spacers to the stock suspension. However there are still some potential concerns if you are "maxing" out any angles or anything. Some items include shock length, steering correction, driveshaft length and angles...and of course trackbar and radius arm angles pending how the kit actually corrected geometry. My biggest concern would be driveshaft length and angles.

Have you considered a body lift in addition to the RC lift on your truck vs stacking ?

Does the current lift use a big spacer for the 5” lift, or new springs? I know some of those cheap ass rc lifts use a huge spacer.

If it came with new springs, you can add the coil spacers, but if u go 2” or more your shocks will be too short and the track bar/drop will be too short so your axle will be off center. And it may be hard to get caster where it should be depending on what the kit did for the radius arms. I would keep it like at a 1” or 1.5” max.

I've not done much work with 2500s. But I have seen others stack coild spacers on the front coils. One thing to consider however is that you may need a larger shock to accommodate that extra length otherwise it may stretch too far and fail

Not trying to insinuate anything, this comment reminded me of something my Dad used to ask me when I approached him with similar questions.

He said, why is there never enough time or money to do it right the first time, but there's always enough to do it all over again.

Passed that on to my kids

Great advice, mister !

I believe the OP was simply just asking if it was “okay”, but none the less, great advice!

Like all things it works until it doesn’t. Some people have better luck than others or they lie. I send tow trucks out quite frequently for what we like to call Facebook experts. Spring leaves the truck customer calls and explains the group on FB all run this setup. I look at so called group and 1 person in a flat road state has it
