variety parts for one lift

my buddy has like all kinds of differnt brands thats hes gonna mix to make one lift for his ranger he has the exact same truck and me a 2000 ranger 2wd 3.0l auto 4door.

Front_
powder coated 3in coil lift -ebay-
2in coil spacers -ebay-
fabtech upper control arms
pro comp 3in spindle lift

Rear_
rcd 3in shackles

I can't say for sure because I haven't seen any of those parts, but your suspension is not something you want to just slap parts together with. I wouldn't do it on my truck unless I knew for sure about it.

I don't doubt that it'll work.....he needs upper arm to compensate for the 3" lift coils. I honestly don't see why not. Camber might still be off due to the spring spacer.
