Metaltech is also a very good reference.
On a totally separate note, I would seriously reconsider lifting that much. The front IFS really isn't going to preform optimally with that much lift. You'll be sacrificing a lot of down travel. My opinion is stay at 2-2.5"
Also, I would lift equally in the front and the rear. If you eliminate the factory rake it will look good till you add any weight to the rear the you will have reverse rake which obviously looks goofy.
Check this out for a better explanation of the effects of lifting the front:

Yea I did look through the dobinsons thread but they dont have as many rear spring options it seems. especially in stiffer spring rates. the 2896/2898 are 318lb springs which would help with the weight.
The 6112's are sitting in the house already just waiting for install lol.
Yea i would like to do an even lift with 3" f/r if possible. I like that the metaltech kit has extended downtravel. I guess I didn;t notice after adding all the weight how low it currently is and i've already lost uptravel due to the sag in the current setup. I also think even with heavier springs I will get some sag due to all the weight. I forgot I also have an SSO rack and carry a RTT when camping.
