3" Front Lift + 1" Diff Drop = OK?
If your going with a 2.5"+ of lift, then a diff drop is a must, I already know that information. My question is with a 3" top plate spacer (EZ-Lift) and a 1" differential drop (4Crawler) will the CVs be OK? This sounds like a noobish question but I just want to know for sure before I run into any problems. Also, if anyones running a 3" lift up front with a diff drop, please share your experience. Thanks.

Yeah, the CV's should be okay...
The spacer is on top of the pack?!? That seems like more of a stress on the upper ball joint than anything else.

I'll be running the FJ80 front coils in the rear and an EZ-Lift 2" top plate spacer with the bamachem 1/2" top out spacer, plus various other things to complete the lift. Will I be able to clear 295/75R16 Nitto Terragrappler ATs with the lift?

I clear 295's with slight rubbing while backing up with a 2.5" front spacer lift, downey rears, and a 2" bodylift.
You will most likely still need a bodylift to clear 295's.

I am actually thinking of a body lift and I think 1" might be enough to clear 285 since the 295 are too tall to clear w/o at least maybe a 2" body lift. So with 285/75R16 Nitto Terragrappler ATs, 2.5" front lift using 2" EZ-Lift top plate spacers plus a 1/2" bamachem top out spacer, 3.5" rear lift using FJ80 front coils, and a 1" body lift probably from 4Crawler should easily clear the 285s?

I cleared 285s w/ nothing but a 2" body lift...now wheeling 285s is another story. I think w/ what you are talking about you will be able to wheel the 285s with perhaps some fender well lining trimming and a bit of pinch weld pounding.
Good luck.
