Default Question about lift. Replacing coil spacers with 3" Coils

I bought a jeep with a 3" budget lift. Basically I'm wanting to replace the stock coils and spacers with 3" lift coils. Is this possible? What do I need to make it work? With the current lift the front is about 1" lower than the rear. I assume I could just replace the coils. Is there more to it than that?

Possibly new control arms etc needed?

Also anyone know where I can just buy new coils and not a complete lift kit?

coils rusty's offroad and ebay sometimes also check the forsale section of CF. If the shocks are stock or completely different than the rear then yes buy those as well. roughcountry rusty'soffroad and some others sell those individually. Also i believe stock control arms are ok to use but it will be better with 3 inch specific lower control arms. Spring compressor to remove coils/ install coils pick up at autozone for rental And have patience and good luck
