Question about lowering springs?

I have a NBS RCSB. Wanting to go 3-6. My question is a 3" spring up front ok? Also going with some 22x9.5 +40 with a 265-35-22. Will I have any clearence problems?

Thanks in advance

It's ok, but a 3" spring will ride like *** compared to a 2" spindle and 1" coil. Those wheels and tires will work fine.

If you go the spindle coil route which I would highly recomend, try an Eibach 1" spring. Its a great spring with nice flat cornering. I love my Eibach springs.

My buddy just scored a set of DJM lower control arms on ebay for like $120. He got the -2", but I know they come in -3" also. When you change the spring - you change the ride quality.
