Your sway bar will be fine but you will want a longer LCA. Without a longer control arm you will throw off the whole geometry of your front suspension and have a bunch of problems down the road. You'll also want to relocate your track bar, get longer shocks and possible relocate or lengthen your brakelines if you plan on disconnecting the sway bar and flexing it out.

i just asked this in the lift and tire question thread... guy said he runs 3in on his stock arms... it can be done but will ride like crap... ill probly do it untill i build my long arms though... and thats all im doing... not changing shocks, swaybars.. anything unless i have to for the road... not offroading it like that though... bad idea... swaybars coming out anyway... shocks are my biggest worries

there is a lot of mis information out there, 3" is easiley done with stock control arms. there is enough caster adjustment to make the arms long enough. all you need to do is go to alignment shop and get to 1/4 caster shims or make them. It wont ride worse because of arm length it will ride worse because of arm angle. which the only way to fix would be long arms or drop brackets. The ride on 3in isnt really worth doing those things. like i said 1/4 shims and you will be fin.
