This is the first lift i will be buying, i don't want to get too tech because io don't have a lot of money and am only taking it light off roading. keep in mind this is my dd as well.

I am getting three inch coil springs and add a leaf with blocks and nitro 8000 series shocks. What else do i need because i want to know all of the things before i go buying. Please help if you have any idea. links and pictures would be great thank you.

I'm kinda new at this too...but as far as I know you may need a T-Case lowering kit...later on as cash becomes more available you may need to do the whole SYE and CV driveshaft...but it shouldn't be necessary...

First, you need to give us a little more info on the lift you want. How high do you plan on going 3 inch, 4.5, maybe bigger?

Nevermind I just reread the post and saw the three inch coils.
Aside from the coils and leafs, you may need longer brake hoses or brake hose relocation brackets, an adjustable track bar or track bar relocation bracket, and the tcase drop kit should only be used if you have driveline vibs after the lift install.

you should be fine at 3 inches with stock track bar, 3'' is as far as I'd go with it tho.

I bought the same shocks, 150$ with 4 boots shipped is a steal.
Do a bastard pack for the rear, you'll attain 3'' of lift and it wont go flat in 6 months like an AAL.

Everything else the guy I quoted said is true.

okay so so far i got bastard pack coil springs shocks and i knew i would have to relocate the brakeline but maybe a tcase lowering kit and that should be all?

avoid using blocks of any kind to lift your xj.
