Default 3 inch lift coils from parts store.

Ive seen a few autoparts stores selling 3 inch oem lift coils. What all would i have to do other than change the coils? Brake line extensions? Swaybar disconnects? Just curious if someone can enlighten me . Im sure ill need shocks as well anything else? And is it simple to do this?

What store sells these?
Sounds like you have some reading to do...
What are you going to do for the rear? You may run into drive line vibes..so you need to consider needing a TC drop as a bandaid fix..or an SYE.
Youll need new extended shocks
Youll be close to needing a new trac bar (not necessary but would be good to have)

Oreilleys sells them ranging from 2 " to 4"

And the 4" are the cheapest. Kind of weird.
Im planning on shackling rear and yes i want to get an sye kit, actually a buddy of mine has a tcase with.a.sye kit already on it that hed sell me for 200$

Just odd pricing on those 3.5" ones..
I have bought the 4.5" ones before...good deal.

Only other coils I like are rustys..but youll end up paying more for em.
