Make sure you drop the transfer case but other than that you shouldn't, I'm at about 6" in the frt and 5" in the rear and do not have a SYE and if there are any issues there are several fixes without going to the SYE.

Does the OME lift come with control arms? 3" + bb spacer might be a bit much on stock control arms.

Dropping the Transfer case is about 30 min, 6bolts and some 1" pucks not a big thing at all

Unless you have a rust issue and all the theads on the inside of the frame rail spin off. Then you have to cut into the side and weld in nuts to hold your crossmember bolts in.... just a bad experience I felt I had to share haha.

In my opinion you need either longer or adjustable control arms witha lift over 3+. All of which will come in a Rough Country lift at a cheaper price.
