Well... You CAN, but make sure you've thought about everything else first. Brakelines, sway bar links, driveshaft angles, control arm angles, track bar mounts.

Otherwise, through them spacers on and be HAPPY!

To add those 3 inches will easily cost u 1500 in all the parts to correct everything
If you are Soren on more height look at a body lift as you will not have to change any of the the suspension components but it also has its cons

No... God no... Don't put 3" spacers, ud be opening up a can of worms..... It's safer just to buy 6" coils... Skyjacker may make a 7", i think they do.... I got the 4 and im just putting in 3/4" Daystar coil spacers to make up for coil sag (but changing to evo plush ride coils)

But remember the lil things like mentioned above.... Brakes, drive shafts, etc
