Coil spacers on top of 6" skyjackers?

Do you guys know if I can use those 2" daystars polyurethane coil spacers if I already have a 6" skyjacker lift with skyjacker coils on the front.
My concern is about the steering and front suspension... you know, will it affect my camber caster alignment? that was a big problem when I first installed my lift until I purchased a camber caster bushing corrector and new bushings for the pivot and radius arms. Plain and simple, can you use these on top of a 6" lift? (my truck is a 2WD 1988 F250)

I think you can, but you might need re-alignment again.

I want my truck(also 2WD) to be lifted just like yours is. Did you install the springs yourself? Where did you get the bushings from?

Someone else did it under my supervising heh heh... I have pictures of the installation if you happen to need any... I purchased the new pivot and radius arm bushings from www.rockymountainsusp.com they carry daystar products and I also purchased the skyjacker lift from them. They'll match any price you come up with. I haven't checked if they carry what I'm looking for at this moment

you will have to get re-aligned because your camber will be off. i installed a 4" lift on my 67 f100 2WD, I put the coils in myself and made drop brackets for the i-beams so my camber is good.

okay, but do you think that the aftermarket camber-caster alignment bushings from Pro Comp that have up to 3degrees correction will be okay?
I have six inches lift and these 2 additional inches won't mess me up?

thanks a lot
