I think to get 3 inches on the older style IFS you have to get one of those kits that has tons of brackets and taller steering knuckles. I bought one of those kits for 4 inches years ago but when I learned more about how it works I decided to not install it.

You can probably get 3 inches out of tortion bar cranking but the suspension would be totally topped out all the time and the ride would be all farged up. CV joints and boots wouldn't last long either.
