I don't think you will have any problem with just a 3/4 drop. You might have some clearence issues with a bigger drop.

Also it depends on what size wheel you plan on running. If your going with a 15" wheel, then the cup on the A-arm might be a little close to the ground. With a 20" wheel the cups shouldn't be a problem even with a 5" drop up front...

What exactly is a tub control arm? Do you mean tube control arm? As in a dropped arm? If so, you might have a clearance issue with smaller rims. If you go to a 17 inch rim, you should be fine.
