    Can't go that high without putting some work into it. Nothing in life is easy :)

    Not at all, I want a 3" lift. But I don't want to have to spend any more than I need to. And I said nothing about work. I would put as much work as I had to into it.

    If you want 3" of lift, you're gonna need to get new UCAs. Unless you want to wander all over the place :)

    Set them at 2.5" with your stock springs and call it a day.

    Some do, some don't. Mine was fine. Camber 0, toe 0, caster 1.6& 1.7 respectively. Although my caster is not ideal, it tracks just fine.
