Anything is possible. However, I believe there is a reason you don't find them for sale. Somebody (smarter than myself) at one point probably determined anything above three inches has a much greater chance of shearing during a sudden impact(stop). The legal ramification to being the producer of such an accessory would far out-weigh the potential profits it may bring...in other words if it breaks they would not be able to afford the costs from the law-suit. Just as you probaly would not want to lose everything you own because your cab sheared from your frame after killing (or worse, crippling) some chuckle head who pulled out in front of you. Spend the money on the right parts (suspension) or settle for what is "legally" available.

It's not smart to stack body lifts.

Also, the Federal DOT max of body lifts is 3". It is illegal to manufacture and sell anything larger.
