So, say I was able to get ahold of 3" spings for the JK from one of the spring mfg's, what else would I need to do a 3" spring lift?
I mean, I've been reading a mind numbing amount of information about lifts and really want to go this route over the TF 2.5 especially since I plan on adding a new bumper.
Can I get away with springs only at this height or other parts needed after crossing that 2.5 threshold? At best, I'll go through a couple of trails and maybe climb a little...really don't invision rocks.

Time to update the sig.
I've been eyeballing rusty's kit for a while now. I really wanted the OME kit, but 1,000 is really steep (With the trac bars).
How much actual lift did you say you got? Are you running the stock driveshafts???
What about bumpstops with the rusty's kit?

looks awesome, considering a spring swap down the road, installing the 2" BDS body lift next weekend, really nice kit, lifts the rear bumper with the body (brackets). Then I'm looking at the Xenon 1.5" narrower than stock flat fenders painted redrock/pearl.

Minimum you have to replace the shocks.
