Exclamation Lift question!!!

I have a complete 3 inch rough country lift kit with coil springs and add a leaf. It did not come with control arms. If i put a 2 inch block and 2 inch coil spacer what steering components would i need to maintain good ride quality?

If I understand this right, you will be going with a total of 5"? If you are then you will most likely need new control arms, you will also need trackbar relocation mounts or a new adj. track bar. You might be able to get away with using the stock control arms if you get control arm drop brackets but dont take my word on it.

also if your going over 4" of lift, then you will start effecting your driveline angle and will probably have some driveline vibrations

Thanks for the help and do you have plans for making a custom front bumper?
