Default Lift questions

I have a buddy selling me 3in Teraflex springs and I have a Teraflex leveling kit already. My question is can I stack the springs and leveling kit making it 5 in front and 4 in rear and what other suspension components will I need to make it work.

Auto or Manual?
4 Door or 2 Door?

1. Longer Shocks & Brake Lines
2. Front & Rear Track Bars to re-center axles
3. Front Upper and Lower Control Arms.
*Other variables depend on Auto/Manual & 2dr/4dr.

In the near future, you'll want to look into front upper and lower control arms. The rears are fine for now.

I started out my quest with a 2.5" budget boost; a great friend came along and gave me 2.5" coils and front & rear track bars. Installing myself really helped me understand the geometry of the suspension and made me very comfortable driving it. It's been over a year with no issues (Added front upper & lower control arms).

I bought the ready lift sst 3 in kit and it came with shock extensions and front trac bar relocation bracket and brake line extensions and then my buddy offered me the springs for 100 dollars a day later lol. So I'm definitely buying the springs I just don't know if I should use the components from the ready lift kit to make the springs work or just sell it.
