Can I get a few more inches of lift from...

Hello everyone. I have an 05' FX4 and I just put in a 2.5" spacer up front and im running 35's. I want more lift but right now cant afford a full 6" lift. So I am wondering if I could add either bilstein shocks (http://performancelifts.com/cgi-bin/...E5C298-H1.html) or a Rancho Quick lift (http://performancelifts.com/cgi-bin/cart/RS999792.html) to my spacer for a few more inches of lift and then put lift blocks in the rear? Could I do this or is it a big no no? Thanks

No no! Doesn't work that way. Start saving your pennies for the 6".

Ok thanks guys. I dont know about lifts very much and wasnt sure. And body lifts are hideous and will probably cause me more problems.

As others have stated just save your money for the 6" unless you want to do a body lift which you already said that you were against. I don't blame you because the darn body lifts on the 04-08's are a PITA or so I hear. I did one on an 01 that was easy as pie, but some guys are getting charged up to $1000 in some cases to get a body lift done
