That is a ton of crystal malt. 2.5 pounds of crystal plus the crystal in the DME/LME is going to leave you with a very high FG and a cloyingly sweet finishing beer. Malt extract with very little crystal (8-12 oz) should finish closer to 1.010-5 and avoid being too sweet. Subbing sugar for extract can also dry it out some.
What kind of beer are you trying for?
Good luck.
