First off, pics or it never happened.

Second, I applaud you for lifting a brand new truck with the extremely high chance of any dealer you go to saying your warranty is voided, that takes balls AND I do want to see pics!

Third, why the hell do you wanna go higher?! Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to talk you out of it, but ****, 10 inches and 36s isn't enough? Lol

Oh as far as answering your question, 3 inch coil spring spacers WITH new upper control arms. Icon or core should have new arms with ball joints that are stronger and have a wider range of motion to handle the suspension geometry being changed due to the spacers and 3 inch lift coils from cst.

I HIGHLY recommend doing both at the same time, and NOT skipping out on the new arms

I agree. Anything else and you'll probably be getting into full on custom work.

Who makes coil springs for the front ? I currently am running maxxtrac 4.5" spindles with 2.5" spacer and the 3" springs in back. I had problems with my upper control arms contacting the shock bucket so I purchased icon uniball upper arms. But they still hit the shock bucket slightly.

CST makes 3 inch springs for the front

And thanks for the input on the icon arms, I was wondering if they completely cleared the spring bucket or not.. Taking those off my list

So do you think getting these springs will solve my issue? Or should I return my shocks to stock length ?

I wouldn't run a shock longer than 15 1/2 inches fully extended. Stockers are roughly 14.75 so going to 15 1/2 gives you a little more length but not soo much that your upper arms will hit the coil bucket

You can run stock shocks if you want to but that's your choice
