Yeah they run just over 3" to account for armor. That with flat fenders is PLENTY for articulation. Keep in mind that a lot of the other manufacturers fudge their lift numbers. Once springs settle and after armor, you won't see the same net lift. I'd at least swap the springs for starters. Start with a good foundation.

Probably a dumb question. But can you just swap springs?

Depends how complete your lift is. Someone else may chime in with specifics, but people do it a lot to upgrade a so so lift.
