    yes Go check out JLee's build. You can get a 3" out of the eibach/bilstein setup. I have got the bilstein on all 4 corners and AAL in rear. Go check out my build also. I dont have the spring up front yet just the stock one. Do this setup and you will be fine. Lot of people are running them. DSM for the bilstein's. AAL from wheelers. And the springs of course from Toytec.

    The shock and coil is all you need for the lift, but if installing yourself, you'll need to rent some a couple spring compressors and have an impact handy... check out my build, sounds just like what your doing to yours.

    If your wallet allows, get new leaf packs. The 3" All Pro Off Road leaf springs are my favorite part about my lift. It rides WAy better than stock! Plus your stock leafs are probley worn a little and adding an AAL will not give you as much lift as brand new lead springs.

    but if you lift ur rear up 3"s and ur front up 3"s then it will still be sloped forward right? because the rear comes stock higher than the front for better arrowdinamics right? (sorry cant spell)

    Yes , if you go up 3" in the front and 3" in the back , you will have the factory rake , just 3" higher than stock
