With a 3" drop you will have to run quite a bit on Negative camber so the tires don't rub the insides of the fenders. Also you will run into issues of the tires rubbing the wirring harnesses on the passanger side. You obviously would have to take out the inner wheel wll liners. The plates are not to hard to get in, just takes a sec, and a littler patience. But you won't get perfectly straight like you want and have it streetable without rubbing at a 3" drop, unless you downsize the tires/wheels.
