Default is it safe to stack coil spacers ?

hey i recently got a 2 inch budget boost but i am going to add 1 inch blocks in the rear but i was wondering if i could put a 1 inch coil spacer stacked with the daystar 2 inch spacers but idk if that would be dangerous or not and if its not recommended where could i find 3 inch spacers

Don't stack blocks in the rear. In fact blocks in general are not a good idea if you plan to drive off-road, in which case you might try a "bastard pack" if you are on a budget. You can stack coil spacers in the front no big deal.

With more lift though you might have to address brake lines, shocks, extended sway bar links, etc.

Its a "gray" area. I wouldnt, but many have. Also check state regs. I do however use an 1.5 woithout the factory isolator.
