Sure.

Sounds like a good deal. Sucks you just got new tires though, they'll look goofy on a huge truck.

3" springs is the absolute minimum to clear the steering.

Usually that is 4-5" over stock.

If you do it yourself, you MAY be able to go lower.

Its been done. However, I'm fairly sure those who did it had a different steering set up.

Good luck with the project. Out of curiosity and not to be rude, but you just bought a bunch of IFS stuff. Have you wheeled that yet? If so, what was so awful about it that you decided to cut it off?

I will look forward to your build process. Hopefully you do it the correct way with longs and a front locker. If not, you will have just spent a bunch of money to get stronger steering.
