Hey, if ur looking at 3 inch because itll be cheaper, why don't you look into a junkyard lift, albeit use new parts, not from the jy, but you can buy the parts at differant times, get a good end result while still maintaining the 500 ish price level. I just did it on mine a few weeks ago, so if your interested, or curious, pm me.

A good example, I installed a 3.5" lift on a friends rig never planning to take it off the payment but wanted the look. Worked for him, lift installed, no SYE, no Track Bar, full leaf packs and new LCA but worked for what he wanted.
It all just boils down to two things, Intentions and budget.

lift is really the least of importance. you need it to get some bigger tires in there, but w/some trimming you can nicely put 31" tires on a 2" budget boost ($70?). Coil spacers and longer shackles would prob be best. A rig on 31" and lockers can go a lot of places.

if ya dont wanna trim/trim much then 9.50 tires and bumpstops are going to be your best friend. otherwise, decide now what you want your jeep to be. if you wheel on the reg, and its your DD, then your going to be doing lots of alignments and u joint replacements. assuming your doing more than just dirt roads, that is.
id say a 2" BB consisting of spacers for the front and a drop shackle for the rear combined with zj coils (+1.5") and depending on how your leafs are, either an aal or bastard pack (cheapest) or new leaf packs (kinda pricey for a budget lift...) this and mild trimming and bigger bump stops will allow for 31" tires with ease.

Rock Krawler front spring, Bastard pack in the rear,4 Monroe sense tracks in the right length and some new lower control arms. Best bang for your buck 3'' you can get and will clear 31s easy
