Default Any way to combine 2 body lifts ???

Just wondering is it possible to combine 2 3" body lifts to make a 6" body lift if I get longer screws to compensate for the extra length and find a way to connect the 2 pucks so the top wont wobble around I am not planning on actually going off road I just want a pavement princess also if that is possible would I be able to run 33's on my stock gearing thanks.

i dont think this will work for a couple of reasons.

i dont think the bolt strength would be enough.
steering and alot of other components would be way to short to stretch this distance.

what if I were to get a stronger bolt that can handle the stress such as a titanium bolt? since I know those have a very very high strength to weight ratio would that make a difference? also would there be any way to stretch certain components to fit?

is it possible...yes, should you do it...hell no.

Unless you want your blazer added to one of those "Epic Fail" threads.

Please don't. There is a reason they don't make body lifts any bigger than 3 inches.

Also I'm sure it won't pass inspection like that... just saying.

That's what Gap Guards are for lol. I need to order some for mine, I didn't realize I had as much of a gap as I do.
