Its doable, but your going to want to get rid of the front mud flaps if you still have them and your going to rub when you lock your steering on either side and a little bit when you flex, but it is possible. I ended up just putting a 2" puck and 2" shackles on top of my three in lift and that stopped all the rubbing without installing the bushwackers...be careful tho...once you start lifting and modifying you can't stop
