Hey Frank,
It is not advised to use the # RAS3621 on the front axle of the vehicle. They are meant for the rear axle only due to the complexity of the front suspension and the steering systems. These leaf spring enhancements are not designed to handle that. The lift should be no issue on the rear, but we do not have a kit like this for the front.
We have some jounce springs like # AL57154 for the front, that would need some spacers due to your lift. Let me know what you think about those.
