Can You Stack Leveling Kits? The Answer Is…
Can you stack leveling kits? Yes, you can. But, you have to consider some factors.
In other words, you put yourself in danger if you add a leveling spacer to a suspension kit that isn’t designed to support the added height.

Can You Stack Leveling Kits?
You can, but the extreme angles of every suspension part will almost certainly lead to damage in the future. You are welcome to give it a try, but I predict you will need new balljoints and CV shafts pretty soon.
Without sounding rude, but if you google “nnbs stacked leveling kits,” you’ll probably find some threads on truck forums that go into more detail about why this is not a good idea.
Not Really, However…
It all depends on the caliber of the lift kit we’re discussing here as to whether or not this will work out for your pickup truck.
That some kits—in this case, suspension-type kits—are worse than others is not surprising.
How do you, however, know that? How can you tell if the lift kit your pickup has can handle, say, a 2 inch or so spacer on top?
Figuring Out The Quality Of Your Leveling Lift
Although it is possible to do it yourself, I can only advise taking the truck to a shop that specializes in this kind of work because there is a chance that you could make a mistake.
If they are knowledgeable about their subject, they will be able to judge whether doing so is worthwhile or not.
As usual, there are guys out there who slap a spacer on top of what they already have while not knowing much and claim that they have driven thousands of miles without any problems, but as usual, we must use common sense.
It doesn’t follow that you will have the same results just because something worked for someone else, who may have had a completely different pickup, lift kit, tires, and other equipment to begin with.

How About Adding A Leveling Kit On Top Of One That Is Already In Place?
Leveling spacers must never, under any circumstances, be stacked on top of one another.
Lift kits, or proper suspension kits, are included with parts to upgrade the suspension system of the existing vehicle for a reason.
It only invites trouble to add more level to a stock truck. Upgrade to a high-quality lift kit if your needs require leveling spacers that are now too small.
The quickest way to travel from Raleigh to Myrtle Beach is by car, which takes about 3 hours and costs, on average, 18 USD per ticket.
Conclusion
In short, you can stack leveling kits.
What makes anyone want to do that, to begin with? Increasing the truck’s existing lift capacity is one of the reasons, if not the main one.
Maybe you’ve been driving with a 4 inch lift kit for a while, but you feel like you want to take it up a notch. Since purchasing a brand-new 6 inch lift kit would be pricey, many people think about adding a leveling spacer instead.
If your current lift is insufficient for the bigger tires you want to install, adding a leveling spacer makes sense in this situation as well.
