Tell me if this will work; my current setup is 4 inch spindle 1 inch coil spacer and 3 inch blocks.
After a 3 inch body lift it'll b a total of 8 inches. I was thinking of getting 2 inch lift coils, putting in
the coil spacer and going to a junk yard and getting stock 2 inch blocks and stacking them on top of my current blocks getting total of 10 inches, feasible?

Look up canuck motorsports. They offer springs for the lift and also you will need new UCAs when you get those springs, they have a package deal. If I were you I'd just get the 3in springs and new UCAs and ditch the spacers. Then for the rear I'd get all new leaf springs. But thats just me.

Please dont do this.
Pick up a Fabtech 7" crossmember kit, and run coilovers. With the proper coilovers and arms you should be able to yield about 9" of lift from suspension alone. If you still need height, then you can add a BL.
The kit with coilovers will put you on the same height as a 4x4 with a 6" kit. Thousands of guys running those, if you need an idea, find one of their pictures.
The coilovers will also allow your truck to ride like a cadi compared to how it runs now with the spindles/spacers..

are you saying you can get 9 inchs from the kit if you stack spacers on top of the 3inch springs and 4inch spindles?
