Re: more inches on my dually..
Instead of doing something that could get you killed(double stacking coil spacers) Why not find an off road fab shop that will build you a set of control arms and a "GOOD" shop will also be able to get you the right coil springs.

Re: more inches on my dually..
This. The coil spacers you have already have you near the limit of your downtravel. Stacking spacers or lift springs will only make it worse. If you are wanting more lift, it's time to start looking into having it custom fabbed. There are a few ways to go about it, and it may take a combination of them to get where you want it such as lift spindles (fabbed or adapting a later model application, which will require steering and control arm modifications to keep the steering and handling in check), longer and offset control arms, or a drop subframe to lower the lower control arms for more lift, this will also require modified spindles or upper control arms to match.
