Probably new I beams in the front for 3", new beams are about $500.00... For the rear, you would probably want it to sit level??? So you should go lower than 3" in the rear... You can flip the springs and pu them under the axle and c notch the frame, I think you should get 6-7 inches there?? Its pretty cheap to do... i will be doing this set up within the next six months...

I wasnt wanting to replace the i beams i was just thinking shackles in the back and lowering springs in the front. And about lowering the back more than the front to keep it level i have air shocks on the back and it sits level right now. But i have another question. I have 275/60/15 tires all the way around my truck with 10" rims; if i lower my truck 3 inches will my tires rub. I really need an answer. Thanx.
