Hey Jenssen, not sure what your plan is but 3" blocks on XJ springs will result in a fair bit of axle wrap and wreck the springs pretty quick. Generally a 1" block is considered the max.  If you are set on it then consider adding a thick overload spring to the pack to prevent wrap.

Biggest obstacle it's going to encounter is a speed bump!
