3" lift tech help needed
I just got a 3" lift from another member. I have front coils, rear aal, and 4 shocks.
I dont plan on going any bigger. So do I need anything else to put the lift on?
lower arms? trackbar drop bracket?

No, I have a 3" RC lift with AAL and my kit came with exactly what you have. You by all means can do the lower control arms, TC drop ect ect but it not needed. Make sure you have either air tools or lots of spare hand tools and pre soak EVERY bolt you intend to put a wrench on with some kind of PB BLASTER. I went through 3 socket wrenches on my lift install. Good Luck!!

id recommend a rear brake line to the axle. Ive got a RC 3" lift and i dont really like how much stress is on it. although you dont realllly need it.

im getting a lot of vibrations and was wondering whether i should do the transfer case drop or extend my drive shaft? I was going to just do the transfer case drop but my dad wanted a second opinion so we took it to the local shop and they said it was best to extend the drive shaft. any advice?

Im being told to buy the track bar drop down bracket.
If I dont buy lower control arms, Will I have alignment issues?

buying the lower control arms isnt a necessity. Although it will help, you will soon find yourself buying every little thing to make it as close to perfect as possible which will never happen

i just put a 3.5" rubicon express super ride on my 96. from 25-35mph i get pretty bad vibes, sounds like i have a huge system. i dont have a tc drop yet but i did put 2 degree shims on the axl. i might try some 3 or 4 degree shims to see if that does anything. my friend has a ZJ and he did a tc drop and hes gone thru like 2 or 3 front drive shafts now haha. i know a tc drop is more of a bandaid than an sye so thats why im not sure if i wanna do it.

I have a 96 with a 3inch lift...didnt need any tcase drop, brake lines, control arms, or track bar mods....although i did end up buying an adj track bar, but that was just because i plan on going higher in the future..
