It really depends what 3" lift you have... you could just use spacers and some long boomerang shackles, you'll need new shocks, or you could get some bar pin eliminators that add 1/2 to 2" to your shock mounts. you might need new Lower control arms...What 3" lift do you have and what did it come with, that'll help

Just use some coil spacers up front, and go with a shackle relocation kit in the rear.
