Ya with only 3" all u should need is springs, coils, and maybe maybe wedges. The brake lines u can just straiten or buy the bracket and straiten and shocks if u really want to flex oh if that's the case the quick discos for the front SB. But the first 2 is all I ever needed to start out.

and an adjustable track bar. make sure if you get that lift and adj trackbar make sure you have the bar there before you put lift on or else tires treads are gonna to down to nothing.
