I have lift coils, do I need new upper control arms?

I have recently acquired 3'' lift fabtech coils for my 5lug 98 tacoma, will I need longer UCAs? I plan on getting them eventually because I want UCAS with ball joints but I want to know if i'll have to wait to install the springs until i get the UCAs

<---- becuase its funny

They will stretch some. But if you want the full travel from your new springs. Shocks for sure.
