IMHO it is not a good idea to mix and match 2 lift kits. These kits are designed with a specific geometry, and if you put both kits together you might exceed the tolerances set forth and stress a related part.
I think I would call Pro-Comp and talk to one of their suspension gurus.

If anything, you might be able to use an add-a-leaf.
I have seen a couple of trucks with the hanger kits and it actually bows the rear of the spring down behind the front axle.

Kenny i had a 4.5" donahoe spring hanger kit with my leveling kit and it put me at 7". You could get a 3.5" spring hanger kit, however then you'd need new drop swaybar links, new pitman arm and new panhard rod drop bracket, possibly new driveshafts, carrier bearing drop, and new brake lines. It's not worth it if you ask me. Plus, you're illegal enough as it is already

No, the parts are designed for a 6.5" lift, not 10" lift. You don't need to go any higher i can't work on it as it is.
