Default 2006 flareside stx drop

Hey, I dropping a 2006 stx flareside and have a couple questions. So far I have picked up the Belltech drop struts, 2" eibach lowering springs for the front and 3" drop eibach springs with shackel for the rear. The plan is for a 3/4 drop with helper bags. Should I have to slot the control arms or shorten the tie rods with 3" in the front?

ive been lowering this body style for over 12 years now and ive done that combo years ago. You will need to elongate the holes so aligns but tie rods are fine
