if you go bigger than 4.5 then you need the sye and a new rear shaft and thats an extra 500, plus death wobble is more common when you go bigger than 4.5"

Do you mean 3.5" coil springs with 2" spacer on top or 3.5" coil springs and 2" blocks for rear leaf springs?

If you do 3.5" coil springs with 2" spacer, you won't have a stock like ride because you will be at 5.5" on short arms. The angle of the arms will be steep and your ride will suffer. If it's 3.5" you should be ok.
