    Ive got a cpl years to go, making double payments to pay off early.. Here's a questions to revive this thread, if you got SL spindles and drop brackets then stacking a lift would be possible correct?

    Not sure if I understand your question, that's basically what the superlift is.... it comes with a 4" strut spacer. Though its not really "lift stacking" because it maintains OEM suspension angles at 4" of lift (due to the drop brackets/spindles/etc).

    However, once you have the 4" superlift you can then "stack" on some extra lift via spacers/springs/etc to get an effective 5-6" increase in ride height and run angles equivalent to 1-2" spacer lifts on stock vehicles. My opinion is that 5-5.5" is the sweet spot so you still have plenty of "droop" left in the suspension, but also plenty of clearance.

    I just said to my wife "so what you think about the superlift for next summer?"

    Her: that's 5" right
    Me: yup
    Her: only if you put 35s on it
    Me: How about 34s?
    Her: OK that'll work

    It's starting to look like I'll be ordering the SL in the next couple weeks. What risk am I running if I stack thr RC lift on the SL?
