Looks like it is sitting fairly level right now. So I would think you would lift it evenly.

thanks bruddah for that input..but it just dont add up...2.5" in back and 3" in the front...it sound to me like the front will be a tab higher...:decision:

Yeah, it really depends on if it is sitting level right now.

It also depends on how you lift it. Just because you say add 3" spacers to the rear, doesn't mean it will add 3". For example, if you did spacers to the stock springs, the added compression to the spring might make it sag more, making the lift shorter than the 3" spacer.

Good looking rig BTW and I agree with your opinion on the wheels.

Have you read the lift sticky? You should consider getting some LC coils for the rear instead of spacers. You should be able to find a set for $50-75. Sometimes even cheaper. With both spacers or different springs you'll have to get longer shocks as well.

They shouldn't. Do you plan on running them on 15" wheels? If so, just make sure the wheel will clear your brake caliper.
