If he goes from a 2" lift to a 3" lift he will be 1" closer to topping out. You're correct only if he adds a 3" spacer to the stock spring. If he adds a 1" spacer to the 2" lift springs then the topping out will get worse. I'd like to try a weaker spring, maybe 1"...

At that point the sleeve of the bushing become next to impossible to slide out.. You need to to torch it and a bunch of o...

It is a big task... You will most probably need some torch to flame out the old bushing. On top of that you will either need a 10-20 ton press to install the new ones... A zip gun also helps to remove the old sleeves.... It not a fun job....

Only spacers were used. The break lines are long enough for this kind of lift.

How would I go about installing them? Is it something I could do myself?

Absolutely. All you need is some basic tools and a spring compressor for the front strut.
