They will rub your lower control arms when you turn, if you have stock backspacing on your rims. If you have soft 8 type wheels with 3.75" backspacing, then they will grab the rear edges of the fenders when you turn, badly. And don't expect to go offroad....at all....or hit any speed bumps either.

I have 3" on mine right now with a newly added set of 33*12.50s...I trimmed a good 2-3 inches up front and if say 1.5-2 in back..they rub like no other man...turning going forward I can turn all the way, but when backing up I can only bout half...I kinda wish I woulda kept 31's with this 3" lift..but that's my opinion....
