    Probably best to check with the man, total chaos. Sweet deal if it works out.

    Have you tried contacting Total chaos directly, or someone that sells their stuff like Wheeler's OR? From what I read those come preset for camber/caster for the bigger lifts, and you're not supposed to adjust them too far from where they come set. Plus, your front end guy might not enjoy having to take the upper pivot bolt out to make every little tweak to alignment. (At least how I understand those heim joints need to be adjusted.)

    hey so i just got this message back from Total Chaos;

    "Thank you for your inquiry with TOTAL CHAOS Fabrication Inc. Those will work fine with a 3” lift, anyone that has a 6” drop bracket has to use those arms instead of the bushing ones. The heim ones come pre-set to the same specs as the bushing ones and the drop bracket guys adjust them accordingly."
