I need some lift advice :/

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on some new tires, I've been thinking some 285/75/17's , right now I have about 1.5" lift in the front (adjustable coilovers) in the rear running 8 wraps about 3.5-4" lift, it's going to cost $300 for coil adjustment and alignment to adjust front up another 1.5" to sit at 3" lift in front, that is my first option, or I could do 1.5"BL $90 and have the extra rake in the rear but I'm still not sure how well ill clear the 285's in front with that, in the end I would like to have 3" lift up front and 1.5"BL but don't want to spend that much right now. Anyone have some thoughts?

Well lifting the front more has to be done. I love my 285s. Make sure your offset is right or you will rub the uca. I have 8.5 wide wheels with -25 offset. Think it put me at 3.75 inch backspace. You will want a bl on top of you extra lift unless you want to do a lot of bumper/fender trimming. I have almost 4 inch up front and still rub a touch while turning while braking or in reverse. You call though. Let me know if I can help anymore.

Can you post a couple pics of your rig up?

Lift

I noticed after a 3 inch body lift my back end still sagged and plus I would tow a trailer every now and then, I put air bags in my back coils, only like $50 and very easy to install, it seriously added another 3 inches to the back of my rig and they stay inflated for a gooood amount of time.

I run factory 275's, 100% stock. Crazy to think I'll need to do so much when I make the switch to 285's. This is why I've been so hesitant to start my build, I keep reading all the things I need to do just to switch one thing out.
Maybe I should just start and figure it out as I go.
