3" lift with additional 1.5" Spacers and Shackles?
Has anyone ever tried this, is it an uncomfortable ride?
Also is there anything else i would have to change compared to a 3" lift?
Steering Linkage?

No reason it wouldn't work or ride poorly compared to with just the 3" lift. You're gonna want to look into a rear SYE or at least a transfer case drop

if its the 89 you should not need the sye for the other look into it if you have any vibrations

I'm also thinking about doing this, i know i'll need a sye, longer driveshaft and longer brake lines for the rear after putting on shackles, but up front what will I need? I only put coils and shocks and didn't have to adjust the track bar

The steering angles will be worse, a drop pitman arm will help with bumpsteer. The track bar will also need to be adjusted, and if you want it to ride well a control arm drop bracket or long arm kit is needed. And of course theres brakelines and shocks to deal with.
