Problems running a 2in level with a 6in lift?

Has anyone run into any problems with using both a 6" lift and a leveling kit? Any help would be appreciated.

I would not put a leveling kit on top of a spacer lift. A full strut replacement, maybe.

I dont have spacer lift, its a full skyjacker coil over kit. I am just slightly worried of joint angles and what not.. It would be a easy and cheap way to gain a quick 2"

I looked into both stacking spacer (bad idea) and adding a 2" spacer to a coilover to get me 8". I found no real negatives to adding the 2" spacer to the coils which is leaving me ordering coilovers. Plenty of people on here back up the idea of adding a spacer to coils.

Thanks...put it on and it rides the same with no discernable angles.

mhockey9090- Eveyonce in a while i will hit a speed bump and it sounds like metal hitting metal.. possibly the upper A hitting the coil? Ever heard the same thing?
