Hey dude, wait a minute. You cant run a 3in lift coil and a 2in spacer at the same time. One the steering cant handle it without doing modifications to the r&p mounting points and to the tie rod ends. Also, the arms will not be able to handle 5in of lift. They will be laying on the frame. There will be no downward movement in the suspension. And the chance you could get it aligned is almost none.
Look Im not trying to crap on your show, but no one has ever do that before. it has been thought of but it always gets discouraged by people who know daks. Your best bet is to get a 3in body lift, and if your feeling spunky, try the AIM lift. If not, go with a 2in spacer and add a leaf on the rear. Again, no one that I have found has installed the 3in AIM lift and that company is in real stress with possible fraud being an issue.
I hope everything works out for you but please keep us posted cuz if you actually pull it off, It will be a first! Later.
