You will probably rub with that sized tire on a 4/5. You may want to get drop shocks too when going that low. I'm guessing you still have the stock shocks on right now, right?

Thanks for the help and I actualy have the right shocks for the drop i have now and i looked up the shocks i will need for the 4/5 drop and the front ones are the same. The whole reason I wanted to go to the 4/5 drop is because with just the drop coil springs i have now I cant get correct alignment and keep goin through tires way tooo fast! will if i just install the upper control arms get it to where i can align it?

With 2 inches of drop in front you should be able to get it aligned. Take it to Les Schwab or any other tire shop and I'm sure they can do it for you. But I wouldn't get it aligned right now because you're just gonna have to do it again when you install the arms.

youll need a flip kit, you dont need drop shackles, and some springs for the front, cam bolts, shocks may need to redo your exhaust with the flip kit, i know some guys have to

He's got the 2/3 kit on already, which means all he needs is the arms and to replace the lifting shackles with his stock shackles.
