Default Coil spring lift kit

Hi everyone, i already have a 2.5 leveling kit from Autospring and i have an 04 2wd STX.

I would like to put 3 inch rear block and lift the front with 2 inch lift coil spring... is it a good idea. do you see problems... only coil springs.

It,s a low cost lift with great look but i don,t want any problems.

Thanks
Hugo

won't work, you can't combine leveling kits.

Why? First off dropping down 4 inches will put the upper control arms/lower control arms and tire rod ends at some pretty steep angles, i highly doubt you will even be able to have the truck re-aligned with in factory specs. there is a reason why you need a lift kit after 3 inches of lift, so that the crossmembers relocated everything and put the suspension's geometry back to normal. i bet you won't even be able to bolt the uca back to the knuckle with 4 inches of leveling
