Ride Height

I have an 82 SR5 sittin on 31 10.5 R15's. I want to keep the same tires and rims cuz I like the look. The problem is I need to replace all the leaf springs because they have flattened out. Would I 3' suspension lift look ok with 31's.

This is mine before I started my build with a 3" lift and 31x10.5 R15 tires:

On my restoration build I did 2" Old Man Emu Springs with 5.5" shackles which comes up to roughly 3" of total lift (same tires). I may drop it down to stock shackle length depending on how much it settles but that's just because I don't need it that high for my use.

I have a 3" lift with 33s and I am 23.5" to the bottom of my frame under the cab.
