Default Zone 3" lift

I recently went down to Rausch Creek for JK fest. After that I am looking at a 3" lift(2"spacer just not good enough now). Does anyone have some feedback on how this lift is. Also if there is anything I should add besides the adjustable track bars. and any pics of the 3" with 33's would be appreciated as well. Thanks

Great kit!
Installed it on mine about 3 weeks ago and clears 35's no problem. Rides AMAZING!
The only things not included in the kit that I reccomed purchasing are front sway-bar disconnects and front brake-lines.
Other than that absolutly no issues at install and no issues after.
Great kit for the money.

Its really not a complete lift, you have to buy alot of extras to get what you really need for 3" lift.

What's it missing? Looks like it's got everything that another brand (Teraflex, RC, BD, etc) would have, but for less $$.

control arms, trac bars,

the only kit I see with control arms is the 5" lift. theres no way you should have a Jk on a 4" with stock control arms...

Perhaps. Though I've heard a lot of the 3" coil lifts (TF for one) provide more than 4" of actual lift.

For 3" though (as the title says), most kits come without those parts as well.

The track-bar is available as an option (as it is from most vendors), and it's included with the 4".

Note the 4" lift comes with those "Cam Washers" to correct caster... no idea how those work though.

EDIT: The cam washers are explained on pages 3-4 of the manual:

Definitely not as good a solution as control arms...

its still not complete without them, atleast on other kits you can upgrade and buy arms as needed
