In the front...no. Your CV's would be screaming, and it would make your teeth chatter driving down the highway. There is a reason that they reccommend only going 3" up front...unless you drop the diff a lot (i.e. FT 6, TM 6, PC 4, TC 5). I don't even think you would be able to get the coilover assembly in place.
