How hard is it to replace stock coils for new ones? Going to be getting 3".

You will need to change the shocks for longer ones so start by jacking the frame up till the wheels are off the ground and put it on jack stands. Take off the wheels. Put a jack under the front dif. and jack it up to put some pressure on the springs.. Remove the shock bolts and slowly lower the jack till the springs are loose and remove them. Some have a bracket to hold the coil in place. just remove it. lower the jack enough to fit the new springs and reverse the hole procedure and install the new shocks.. Be careful not to brake the brake lines when you drop the differential. If it looks close remove the calipers, don't loosen the brake lines, otherwise You will have bleed them.
