Could this work? I cut out the center section which is good to go... but I still need about 1.5 more inches of lift to go with it.. What if I cut the ends off flush and drilled the hole for the tie bolt (centered of course)... and then put the whole thing together with the existing spring pack? each spring plate is about 5/16 wich would add another 1.25 roughly if I used all 4.
Do you have a lift on there now, or are you just looking to add to the factory set up?
Some companies do sell mini spring packs as a lift or leveling kit, so it's not unheard of. You just need to make sure you get new, longer U-bolts for the new set up.

I replaced the stock front springs with the ones that add 2 inches of lift. But I still need to level up the front because the rear has an additional 3 inches when I did the front 2 in lift springs.
If it's arched front springs, or a different built spring to provide the original lift, then the DIY mini spring pack should work fine (with new U-bolts). If the new springs got their lift by adding a mini spring pack under regular springs, I'd be worried about stacking them and instead just look into some drop brackets for the springs.
You plan on running 33s or 35s? And if I remember correctly, you drive on the beach a lot down at the outer banks right? The kit that you're fabbing up should work no problem. I'll post a few pics of what setup I have and how my truck sits.
And this is the suspension setup. X-Code springs with one mini-spring. I plan on adding another mini spring as it sits a little too far down in the front for my taste.
