No big problems. U will put a little more stress on ur steering components and ur tires will start wearing uneven.

seems like 3 inches will cause driveline issues on some and not on others. i have heard diff arguments on what should be done to steering, breaking, etc. components. some say yes! you NEED a new adj, trac bar, SYE and extended break lines. some say you DONT NEED these things, you just need to relocate the trac bar and break lines... look for threads about adjusting things like "drive shaft angle", or "new noise with lift"... good luck.

sounds like, and i could be wrong, that you did the budget boost. i put the 2" version on mine- "pucks" in the front, and drop brackets in the back. this isnt the same as an actual suspension lift. you have only lifted the body, nothing else. (I THINK) so maybe its just ball joints, or something simple. where are noises coming from? front?

ball joint, tie rod end... mine will do this on a random occasion when i turn it will kinda clunk, or pop. it doesnt do it often, and might have even stopped sisnce i had it serviced last. so it wasnt anything major... hope its simple for you too!

Well hey! I fixed the problem! It was alot of loose bolts that were hooked up to some
Steering components tightened em
All up seemed to do the trick for now if they come loose again I'm gonna lock- tight them thanks again for the help guys
