I am new to lifts is there a kit that i can get that will raise 3 inches and comes with everything to keep all the angles correct so i dont were out driveshaft boots on trans skid plate. and the one for the rear too. Thanks for the help.
You might want to call Dave @ Northridge 4x4 and talk to him about the Old Man Emu stuff he sells. He should be able to get you a really complete kit that will net you the 3 inchs you are after.
X3 on calling Dave at Northridge. He is awesome and you absolutely cannot beat their prices and free shipping on orders over 100 bucks. I went with a lift outside Northridge though and got the Rusty's 3.25" kit and it too is on a 2 door. I really like it, but have seen some not like Rusty's stuff at all.
You can put in a 3" inch lift, but over time on a 2dr you will get a split in the CV boot on the rear drive shaft because of the constant angle, loose grease then only a matter of time before you'll have to replace. The other problem is that drive shafts on 2 door autos can catch the the tranny skid and tear the boot
Some replace with aftermarket shafts and or notch the tranny skid with a die grinder to accommodate for the steeper angler.

From what I've gathered it really all depends on the amount you actually net from the lift. One of the major reasons I went with a 2.5 BB for now. I know there are plenty more benefits from a true coil lift, but I was impatient. Once I take care of a few other mods I'll be looking at replacement driveshafts, then do the proper lift. Just my .02. I'm other guys on here will probably chime in with their thoughts.
