It's going to rub, a lot. Before I pulled my bumper endcaps off, I was rubbing on the street with 32's on a 4.5".

you can do it with some mild trimming. otherwise you'll rub on the bumper caps on almost any bump and at full lock. With 3" you'll be stuffing them in pretty tight.

You will also have to address the bump stops if you don't want to bend your fenders at full flex.
