    Don't add spacers to coilovers. To find the height you're looking for. You measure from the middle of your center cap of your rim to the inside of your fender and that gives you the lift that you have achieved. I just can't remember the correct # for 3" of lift. Somebody will chime in

    Don't quote me on this but in doing my research for a similar question (I have King 2.5") I think I remember that every full turn of the aduster translate into 1/8" at drive height. Again, just going based off of memory.

    ^^^Keep cranking them until desired ride height or till cv angles get to bad.

    The drivers side can be cranked a little more to get rid of taco lean.

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    your front bumper may be adding to the sag with all that weight up there... just crank them up some more
