3 is fine with brakes and cables... maybe need to trim a little more off ya radiator hoses but unlikely.

Your exhaust will sit 1 inch lower too... a lot of people get there exhausts modifed so they are up nice and high when they are happy with the size of there lift.

I will bet my last remaining nut that your reverse problem is just a sloppy linkage.
