Yeah, your ass would be too high.

If you lift the rear 3" and the front 1.5"...plus the stock balance is ass up somewhat to start with...not good balance.

Options:

You can get a 1.5" AAL, and crank the T's

You can get shackles for a 3" lift, and crank the T's (A shackle for a 3" lift goes with a 1.5" AAL to add up to a total of 3"...so the shackle itself just raises the rear by 1.5"...same as the front)

Details:

If you crank up the front, you'll need an alignment....for all options.

The shackles are about $50 total, the T crank is free, plus an alignment....you get a 1.5" lift for about $50 in parts. (SLR has them too, but a bit more $)

Shackles articulate better than AAL's, but are slightly less stable on road. (Slightly) Shackles don't change the carrying capacity, you just hang higher.

1.5" AAL's (Calmini for example) are about $150 total...you get 1.5" of lift for about $150 in parts. (SLR versions of 1.5" AAL are available too...I think the 3 pack is actually 1/2 of the 3" lift, and gives 1.5" after going to 2" and settling a 1/2")

The AAL's don't flex as well as shackles, but are a bit more stable on road, and increase the carrying capacity somewhat as well (More spring)

If you do the shackle/AAL upgrade path, you can just add one or the other as you go, and keep them, w/o having to replace rear parts when you get to the front end.

Any of the above will work, and people have various versions.

Think about your time frame for your upgrade path, and pick the options that seem best for you.

Hope that helps!
