Is the 3 inch kit AAL too? Then it won't work. At 5 inches, your looking at more than a couple of kits together, driveline angles get all messed up and you will most likely need an SYE, LCA drops in the front, extended brake lines, and that's just to start. For 4.5 or better, I always opt for the full kit that comes with everything you need except the SYE and I get that separately.
