3" lift

I've been wanting to lift my '72 C30 for a while now. I'm not sure what sure what factors change when the cab is raised from the frame. Well, now I have an opportunity to pick up a set (6) of 3" lift bushings pretty cheaply. My question is: How would this affect things like; clutch linkage, accel. cable, engine wiring, and anything else I may not have listed? Thanks..........

Re: 3" lift

You doing a body lift or suspension lift? Sounds like a body lift, which I wouldn't recommend anything over 1" for a BL.

Re: 3" lift

It's a body lift. I spotted the bushings under the cab mounts of an '84 in the junkyard. (4) under the cab, (2) under the radiator. I'm thinking I could cut them down maybe? I'm just not sure where the limit would be before I affect the factors I listed in my original post.
