What else is needed
I’m looking to do a 3” lift looking at Fox shocks with evo springs is there anything else that will be needed like control arms or bumps or anything else will be running a 35” tire
FAQ's and Thoughts On Lifts are both stuck right to the top of this Modified area, start with them when you have a chance.
But, at that height, you probably want some form of caster correction. (arms or brackets.) A raised rear trackbar bracket. A front adjustable trackbar. Rear adj trackbar can come later if you decide to add it. Taller bumpstops. Brakeline brackets or longer lines. Longer swaybar links front and back, or front disco's? Depending on the year and use, maybe an exhaust spacer or narrower front driveshaft. Depending on actual height you gain and your opinion of the handling, maybe a draglink flip. What is the backspace on the rims? If stock, plan on spacers. Depending on ... see how this goes? Maybe's and probably's and depending's, so (just a suggestion here, so take it for what it's worth... ) YOU need to find out what all of this stuff does, and why you might or might not want it. Don't throw money at components just because someone else tells you to buy them, know why you are doing it / what problem lifting caused that that component will correct.

If you want everything, here:
-Adjustable front lower control arms (caster)
-Adjustable rear lower and upper arms (pinion angle and axle positioning in the wheel well)
-Extended front and rear brake lines
-Weld on rear coil perches (because you will have spring bow and this is the correct way to fix that, not some crap spacers or wedges which do nothing)
-A raised axle side track bar bracket for the rear (preferably weld on, Synergy makes a nice one for $90)
-Front and rear adjustable track bars
-Front shock relocation brackets, so your shocks don't contact the frame at full droop (Nemesis makes a nice one)
-gussets for the c's (you might as well do it now, or when your stock ball joints inevitably fail)
-bumpstops, you can use hockey pucks (unfortunately you already bought the shocks based off of lift height, this is the incorrect way. You're supposed to bumpstop your rig first with the new coils and see how much up travel you have or want. Measure, and buy shocks based off extended and collapsed lengths.)
-Adjustable front and rear sway bar links (discos up front are ideal, some run no sway bar in the rear...it's a matter of preference)
In my opinion, these are the bare minimums you should have with 3" coils.
Expect to replace driveshafts and ball joints soon as well. You might find the bump steer is terrible, in which case you'll need to weld on a raised (Artec makes a nice one) front track bar mount and flip your drag link at the same time.
