Not unless you're doing the hokey pokey. Haha However, you do not need to worry the TOE with that amount of lift.

I did this mod last night and love it. I couldn't find 17/18 front springs locally but did find a pair of 52126316AB springs for the front and 68004460AA for the rear. It took about 1.5 hours to do everything. Rides much better and it lifted it just over an inch which was nice too.

check out the teraflex write up, it should provide you with some good info.

The Teraflex writeup was great. You pretty much unbolt the shocks and sway bar end links from the axles and jack it up until you can pull the springs out. I did one corner at a time. I took the brake brakets loose in the back so it didn't stretch the cables. Without taking the wheels off I did the front and back in ~1.5 hours with some time in there to mediate fights between my little ones.
