Lower arms will help you push your axles out to get them back to center. With 3 inches they are not a must have, I run a 3.5 without then, but with that being said if you can afford them it is not a bad idea.

Or get those AEV brackets. I'm running them and love them.

I'm still thinking of getting replacing lower arms though to allow for more articulation.

Running the new generation rubicon express with good results. Good flex, improved ride and control, and nice quality. For the price they cant be beat in my opinion.
