Lightbulb lift and tires?

well, im new to the whole lifting thing.
i put coilovers in my honda and redid that suspension..
now that i have this jeep id like to lift it though. so i was thinking 3 inch lift? i live in the city and would only be offroading like 4 times a year(in mud) i plan to run 31 inch tires with a three in. lift, whats your thoughts? and how should i go about lifting it? should i put shackles in on the rear leaf and (it looks like a hockey puck?) on the front springs? please help.
also i know this is supposed to be posted in the other thread but i dont think anyone will answer there.

Ya, rustys and rough country are booth good for under $600. But make sure you dont get an add-a-leaf (AAL) They sag MUCH sooner than full leaf packs will.

I'd go with a zone lift which is basically a BDS lift but without the price

if you really want to save some dough, you can go to the local pick n' pull, and put together a bastard pack rear. you'll need s-10, or dakoda leaf packs. (i've heard that the dakoda rides and flexes better) anyway. there are alot of build threads for bastard packs on here. that's what I'm planning on for now.
