The FAQ's are usually a good place to start.

This one:
Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift?

And perhaps this one:
Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?

I used the Zone Offroad 3", which I hear is made by the same people that make the BDS, but cost less(not lifetime warr. like BDS). I just used the basic kit with no extras, worked great.

I originally ordered the new front track bar, but it was back ordered so I put in the lift without it. The centering was off by less than 1/4" if any at all, so I cancelled the track bar order.
Also, I did not use the control arm relocation spacers because they require a mod to the mount that can not be reversed.

The only issue I have had with the lift is that on an extreme off road bump the rear track bar relocation bracket dented the new rear shock, but just cosmetic.
