    You could go with Eibach coils and set your billies at 0 or .85 depending on which tire you want to run .

    This will lift you the 3" , including tire , you are asking for

    If you go with Eibachs and bills set at 0 you can run 265, but if you run 285 you might want to go a little higher with the billys

    Also you might get some tire rub with those 285's. Search around. Ive heard the rub a little but you can trim

    Other way around

    The Eibachs coils provide 1.6" of lift on their own .

    So with the billies at 0 , you would get 1.6" lift , with the billies at .85 , you would get 2.45 " lift
