I kinda doubt it. But they may fit with some trimming because of the wheels you are using. I'd suggest test fitting one.

If the wheels are 8 or 8 1/2 inches wide with the 5.71" BS and the truck is a 4x4 they may clear if the sidelug's on the new tires are not too radical.

Please, don't go with a 3 inch kit. 2.5 inches is the limit before the ball joint and CV joint angles to too severe to last.

Ive got a few friends around my area who are using a 3" by Fat Bobs Garage, and they have been for thousands and thousands of miles, and they're not seeing any problems. Ive heard mixed things i guess. I just think it looks better, and gives you a lil more clearance! : )
