2wd will be fine. 4x4 and you will have some nasty angles on the CV's.

No. I had a 2.5" on my 05 4x4 and it was damn near perfect.

The whole front end geometry will be goofy. Do you have a 2wd or 4x4

You would have no problem in a 2wd

The UCA's might make contact with the springs on hard turns but that's about it. The ride should be close to stock.

Your are correct,his uca's will make some contact,not bad Thoe,but some contact will be made.

However thoe,over time that add a leaf spring will start to drag down his stock leafs and actually cause some drag on his rear end.Just from experience thats how i know.Now if he were to add a super spring,he will be good.So the look he is going for now will be nice,but is it worth it down the line when he will have to replace all stock leafs?
