No. Yes.

Stacking kits does not make for a better coil sierra. Their suspension design is almost lift allergic if you can't fabricate. I'd leave it as one or the other.

I had 31 and 30mm lift and never needed any more because of the short wb
The almost 100in vit on the other hand needs all the lift I can get

for driving around with the front shocks topped out
for adding caster correction bushes so the axle brackets break off
for adding no travel or flex
for exacerbating the hugely mismatched front the rear roll stiffness.


If you want the lift for running bigger tyres, you don't. Put the bigger tyres on and work out whether to cut guards, run a body lift, space the bumpstops or all three. Adding suspension lift to a coily doesn't make them better.

More lift doesnt equal more capable.

Check out some rigs on here and you'll see low is the new lift
