For what it would cost to buy washers and weld them together plus your time, you'd be farther ahead to just buy a body lift kit and do it right.
Maybe for you but an additional $80 to get one shipped out of the USA makes it cheaper and easier to fabricate your own. Plus you BUY IT OFF THE SHELF guys probably also ride OFF THE RACK Harleys and call yourself bikers. Some of us actually enjoy doing it yourself and come from the old school before you could just go online and buy one. Besides are you a consumer or an innovator?
Oh and for those of you that will say you are modifying steering, brakes or what have you. If you don't know and trust your own work well enough to put your life on the line for it you are probably better off buying one.

I say do a real body lift or nothing at all. Personally, I don't like the idea of hockey pucks or tubing holding up my trucks body. Works for enough people though, so....
What about a small suspension lift instead? Level kit in the front alone will make a difference and can be had, used, for cheaper than an actual body lift kit. Check out the lifting for cheap section in the tech library. Might give you a few more ideas!
