3" is alot of level so you may run out of adjustment. But, for the most part, any garage should be able to get you taken care of.

Moog, ACdelco, and Raybestos all make a kit to add up to +/- 1.5 deg caster/camber. I bought mine through rockauto.com. I should get some kind of commission from them!

Or you could use a die grinder for free.

ive called a few places and I have been told i would have to take it to an offroad specialty garage because the local garages have to allign to factory specs which would mean dropping the front of my truck back to factory height.
