If you go rusty's, get the HD coils instead of the regular 3" coils. I hear alot about the regular coils sagging over time. I run their HD front coils and they ride very nicely, almost the same as my previous old man emu coils.

Or if you want to save some $$ get some coils from a V8 Grand cherokee and 1.75 Poly spacer and your good to go. should be a smooth ride...............dont forget about the brake lines!!!!

No, you can bend the hardline down and get plenty of slack for a 3" lift. Just look at the rubber hose and how it attaches to the hardline. Bend that down however you want and redrill a hole for the screw. DONE

I did this little bend too. You can see in this picture where the bracket for the brake line used to be mounted.
