alignment question
 
I put on a rusty"s 3" with aal and was wondering if I need to get new control arms to get proper alignment now...If so do you have to do top and bottom or just bottom. Also I read somewhere that a new adjustable trac bar might be wise? Or is all of this only necissary for larger lifts?

Thanks

Brian

At 3 inches you should be ok. Did you have to install a transfer case drop? If so you should be fine and if you end up having to have control arms lower will probably be all you need. The trac bar is nice unless your stock, but not a must. Insert expert opinion here^

3 inches is about the max that you can get away with without control arm and tracbar changes. Every jeep in the world seems to be different with lifts. If your tires are rubbing the back of your fender then you need to fix the control arms. If the axle is not centered under the body then you need to work on the track bar. It really comes down to driveability. If it rides how you want it to then go with it, if not then adjust what needs to be adjusted. You shouldn't have to mess with upper control arms with only 3 inches of lift.
