That is my plan. Thing parts are not cheap though so it will have to wait for awhile.

Thing front arms and spindles which should give me about 3" in front and 3x3 rears.

I am running a 4" rim on the front right now and a 6" rim in the rear. With that combo the front is still wider than the rear by 1.5 " I plan on adding disc brakes someday that will probably push the fronts out an additional 1" per side. Adding the 3x3 still is short by 1/2 an inch with disc and if I dont add disc I can move up a size in the front rim. At least that is my plan. My main issue is rear shock mount. Most people tie the 3x3 shock to a cage which I dont have.....yet
