Coilover Question

I have a Daystar leveling kit on my frontend, but I would love to get a little more height. I can't go up to a 6" lift because I have to little boys and it would be a pain if they couldn't climb in themselves. I'm seen Skyjacker's 3" lift and it looks to me like a front shock spacer, coilovers and add-a-leaf in the rear. Does anyone know if I could use my existing Daystar and add the coilovers & and leafs to make a poorman's lift?

They, Skyjacker, advises against it. I asked the same question before i installed my 3 inch skyjacker. I love my lift though, but as always, i would love to go bigger, but as you, I have 3 little girls and one comming on tuesday. I would hate to have to lift them in every time we went somewhere. Good luck.
