Congrats on the Jeep purchase. AND further most, WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

If you haven't already seen the Sticky on the top of the Modified Section, it will help answer a lot of your questions.

What is a good 3" Suspension Kit? Well. Everyone's going to tell you something different. And, until you do researching on your own, you're never going to find a correct answer for your question.

From the link above:


Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift?
A: At bare minimum, you should have a set of 3" coils, bump stop extensions, longer shocks, rear brake line extension brackets, new longer rear sway bar links (factory links can be installed up front), adjustable front track bar and rear track bar relocation bracket. Optimally, I would recommend adjustable front upper and lower control arms as well as they will help you set your caster to the appropriate angle it needs to be. Also, if you have a 2-door, adjustable rear upper control arms and a new double cardin U-joint style drive shaft would be highly advisable.

We Charge around that for a long arm install, I'd call lunatic customs, it might be a little far but they do great work.

They have installed a couple sets of our 3" Premium plus SRS lifts.

i actually just put the bds lift on, not a full long arm kit just coil and shocks and it rides better than the stock suspension. that was with control arms in case you were wondering,

You need to decide how much you want to spend on a lift......you can go anywhere from $500 to $1500+
