Front suspension help

Have lift spacers on my front coils and want them gone quick, have a 3-3.5in lift in the front with 5100's. If I get bigger coils to replace the spacers, will I need to replace any other parts like control arms or anything?

Check your shocks to see if they are long enough

4" will be an issue if you still have stock brake lines and control arms.
You can level the rear with shackles if you need to.
4" in the rear will also require extended brake lines, and most likely extended e-brake lines.
You will also probably need a slip yoke eliminator if you don't have one.

The difference between 3" and 4" lift is pretty significant.

The toe-in on the front wheels will also change if you have y-link steering. It will have to be adjusted.
