Leveling kit and 3" lift spindles on a 02' 2wd?

Looking into buying the 3" spindle kit for my truck would i run into any problems with getting it aligned adding a 2" leveling kit to it? or would i even need to get it aligned? neither instructions say.. I'm looking to run some 315/70/16's on 16x10's think they'll fit? also looking at 295-75/16s too, thanks for the help!

Yes, you can combine lift spindles and a leveling kit/coilspring spacers. However, you may need adjustable camber bolts to get the alignment within specs. Some trucks need them, some don't. They are only about $40 so it would be worth it to go ahead and add them. Also, I wouldn't use 10 inch wide wheels with lift spindles. Most lift spindles increase your front track width a few inches which will make 10 inch wide wheels stick way, way outside the wheelwell. You also wouldn't be able to fit 35's using them. 35's will be a tight fit with an 8 inch wide wheel.

I'm running that setup with a 305/70/16 tire on aftermarket 16*8 wheels. I had to trim a good portion of my front valance to clear the tires. 295/75/16 would probably work good but might require some trimming too.
