Post Check my Lift Shopping list???

Looking into buying my lift within a few months. Weighing my options. Let me know what you guys think about my lift and any suggestions/ problems you have have with it.

- 3" Rough country suspension lift with AAL's in the rear and lift coils in the Front. All 4 new shocks.
- 1" Poly spacers for front coils
- 1.5-2" adjustable shackles for rear. The difference in front to rear lift will fix the rear squat problem. =)


I know running this lift requires extentions and brackets and such, but I don't know exactly what would be needed. Can anybody fill me in?

i think youde be out less money if you just got the 4.5 inch xseries kit from rough country... i personally dont like coil spacers because its not extending your suspention travel. its lift a wrangler with a body lift... ive got 4.5 inchs and 33's its still street drivable by far! and i havent regeared

add a leafs will fix your rear sag for oh... a few weeks maybe. Get full leaf packs. Go with the 4.5" lift like the others said. Also invest in a Drop Pitman arm and an adjustable track bar. And some 15 x8 wheels with 4.75" of back spacing or LESS for when you put those bigger tires on, or you'll rub your lower control arms.
