chip: i wouldnt stack the spacers on the lift kit you have... pro comp uses a giant spacer to achieve the 6" lift and if you put the 2" on top of that your stacking spacer on spacer which isnt a good combo and is horrible on your CV angles...

I agree 100% with Russ on this one. Pro-Crap gives you giant spacers up front, stacking another spacer ontop would be dangerous and not wise. You get small amounts of movement between spacers and that could lead to steering geometry being FUBAR and other parts wearing odd. I would suggest looking for some type of coilover. Sway-a-way make an expensive one but HIGH quality. With something like that, you can adjust the ride hight, giving you that extra 2" of lift. This would also get rid of that spacer and make your rig all around more solid and functional IMO. You can also order the Fabtech DL's and put them in. There are plenty more shocks out there, just not coming to mind right now.

Good looking truck BTW and great tire choice !
