id say your better off just buying a new 3" spacer and selling your old in the classifieds. better safe than sorry.

i know what you mean about your front end sagging since i added my bumper. i need to take some air out of my rear bags though too. thats would help alot but i pick my boat up tomorrow so no sense in changing it now

my plan was to machine a soild aluminum spacer and drill holes in it that match the studs, then replace the studs with longer grade 8 bolts. seems simple but maybe im missing something. anyone else tried this or thought about it?

I wouldn't stack spacers. Just make a 3" instead and sell the 2".

Stacking spacers is a very bad idea.

really dont think it would be that hard to fab up if you have the equipment to do it. stacking isnt the best thing you could do....

The upper mount "cups" the spacer and prevents the spacer from being ejected out the side. If you shim it down that far it could possibly kick out if it was to rip out those studs.
