Cheap way to get height without buying new springs. but you also don't get stiffer springs to compensate for the weight and height this way... you just go an inch or 2 higher with the same soft springs. You could always call RC or IRO and see about getting a pair of 4.5" coils?

So your saying I can buy springs and get a 1.5 higher lift? Would I need to buy any other parts to do this?

nope, not unless it's alot higher than before you put the weight on the front. then you may need longer brake lines and shocks.

Would a 4.5 lift in the front look good on a 3inch lift??

I can't tell ya exactly how much they're gonna settle with the weight of that bumper on there. If they're a little bit higher you can always get shackle relocation brackets in the back
