Default Question about RC 3in lift kit

I'm ordering a RC 3 inch lift kit today, do I need to order the kit with the lower control arms and sway bar drop bracket?

Is this necessary for only a 3 inch lift, you can order the kit with or without, I want a good ride and will spend the extra cash if necessary.

You dont NEED to get new control arms... But you were to get new ones... you could go bigger without having to upgrade. RC Just came out with new adjustable uppers and lowers, and they are awsome! Your ride will not really get any better because the radius angle will be about the same after you lift it. But the adjustables will help the front axle flex alot more!! I love mine!

As far as sway bar drop kit, just make your own disconnects. They are farly easy to make and their are a couple write ups and how-tos as to how to make them.

Good luck!

I've decided I'm going to put on 31's with a 2 in lift, without trimming or removing the flares, I am insane?, maybe but I've seen pics of this done and it looks OK.
