ok a buddy of mine is getting dicked around with the lift he bought from rough country they forgot to send his coil springs with his lift then they sent him some more then ups lost them so now he needs his daily driver back for the weekend and he wants to temporalily stack another set of lift pucks on his existing pucks so it will level the jeep out a little bit so it dosent look like a dragster. i told him this was a bad idea but he wants another opinion..

It might not be unsafe or hurt anything but I wouldn't do it. I'd just rent a car and wait if I didn't have another vehicle. JMO

He'll be ok. Just don't take turns too fast and keep the anti sway bar on. The stock springs are really soft and w/double pucks will be swaying alot.

If having the front lower than the rear is only a cosmetic issue then I would deal with it until I got the proper springs.
