Too much lift? No such thing... Okay maybe there is. But worst case scenario is you have a bit of a rake and you replace the rear driveshaft with something more suitable. Possibly cranked trailing arms too if you go above 3" (?) I think. Then a year or so down the road if you want to level it, plan on replacing parts up front as well. Having a bit of a rake actually helps compensate for the departure angle on these, which is considerably worse than the approach angle.

you shouldn't approach 3" My guess is you'll be fine. Im considering 25-30mm spring spacers up front to even mine out at an ideal 2.5" (ideal height, not ideal way to achieve it)
