Thanks Guys for the input. I checked with Calmini and the 3 inch lift is less than $600 so i may go that way before I start cutting and cranking. Or maybe just wait and buy new wheels and tires.. Christmas has put a dent in my play money..

I disagree with some of the below (or above pending your profile setup, mine shows newest posts first) stuff. I run 34x11.5 and am back to being close to front stock height.(Handles MUCH better offroad with the increased down travel and minimized tension on the torsion bars). Other than banging back the rear of the front fender (which can be done without any noticeable impact from the outside, and trimming the front corners off the cladding, also not noticeable unless you are looking for it) you should have no problems. For the 34s, I removed the splash guards inside the fenders.

I think the lifting of the front is more cosmetic to make it look level in the rear. I do not get any rubbing as far as turning, and I never adjusted the steering stops.

I doubt you will have any problems with that tire at stock height other than minor trimming. As for wheeling it, you might get rear rubbing at full flex, so some OME 912s,913s,919s or even just a spacer with stock springs (much cheaper that way) would be fine.
