Default jdm lca with drop coils bad idea?

Right now i have cut coils, giving me about 2.5 drop in the front. Im wanting to add jdm's 4 lca. Is there anything wrong with using drop coils and lca? im hoping to net a 6/8 or 7/9 drop at the end of this.

the truck is a 2000 scsb

you are going to need some offset bushings for the uca or different alignment cams or you will not be able to get it aligned

i understand that, so as long as i run something for more alignment and the tie-rod flip kit i should be able to align it and have no bump steer?

letsrun97z what is your drop made up of?

And the tie rod flip kit is to help bump steer, from what i have gathered online.
