Yes it is possible, but only if ur coilovers are not cranked up, also IMHO 40's are going to put way too much stress on ur IFS..

You should be fine bro. Post a pic of your cv angles after you have done this. What kind of 40's did you get?

Why not just crank your coilovers all the way up. Putting a spacer on top of them doesn't sound very safe to me especially if you already have the coilovers cranked. Your cvs and ball joints will love the angles and your ifs will love the 40s. Sounds like it is time for a solid axle swap.
