Default 3" lift springs in front 2wd

alright, talked to HeyYou about getting some lift springs and he persuaded me to do this myself instead of having it brought in. i was wondering if any of you had a good DIY or know of any videos. (i like vids but anything helps)
my impact gun doesn't work too greatly. wanting to upgrade it too..
how high will i have to raise the truck? will stock jack and some blocks help lift it? blah blah blah.. anything you can help me on, tips/pointers for me would be greatly appreciated. thanks angels

Ill PM you some tips and a DIY when I get home. Not that difficult, but unless you can lift it a decent amount with a jack, it'll be very complicated to fit. Which I don't know if the stock jack will suffice...

This is easy to do but you need at least the following tools, ball-joint separator(pickle fork), floor jack, and depending on how you do this a coil spring compressor,
jackstands, sledge hammer, Remenber to put a chain through the coil spring and frame so that if it does try to spring out on you it will not go far, never be in front of the spring when working on it; stand or kneel to ether side of it. If EndIsNear does not send the info needed pm me and I will write it out for you.
