where would one look for 3" lift packs for rear? that are not too expensive.... remember theres a wedding being paid for here.

 

I think any lift company would sell you individual leafs springs. You may not see them on their sites but you just call them up. But remember, at 3 inches of lift you still need other parts....longer brake lines, trackbar, lower control arms possibly, and maybe an sye if you get driveline vibes.

 

Yikes, that I was not aware of... it would seem that maybe I need to forgo the 31s and just squeeze the biggest buggers in there I can. What is the biggest size I can run on stock? or with the dormans and 1" spacer?

 

as far as I know this is the cheapest 3" lift. You might need to relocate the track bar( drill a new hole) and relocate the brake lines

What about this one? Trail Master

I was trying to stay under 400 before tires, but if that is simply impossible then its simply impossible.

 

depends on the shipping....personally I would go with the Zone kit. They have a good reputation and it ships free

 

if you piece it out it's going to cost you more...ubolts are around $40, cheapest shocks are used jk rubicon take offs from Ebay--just say $80 shipped, leafs alone will be $300, then coils $120..also if the leafs don't come with bushings that is extra.....that's why the zone kit is a good deal....you can also check Rusty's, but the shipping is usually going to bring the price over Zone's

These are 103/piece

I'm not a big fan of procomp normally, but these are a 5-leaf pack and they include the bushings.

Or you could go with the Husky springs for a durango at around the same price:

Or the zone pack for 116 a piece

Then get a set of ACOS for 215

You'd only be about 50 bucks cheaper than the zone kit by that point though... however, you can always use that 50 to get other parts you'd need for a 3" lift.... extended brake lines, track bar, etc.

But yeah, 2" won't fit 31s without trimming. You could do 30" tires, but you'd have less tire options.

 

the link for the zone leafs said they were for a yj....this is the XJ pack...and no bushings and no ubolts

HA! Sure enough. How'd I miss that? I've had that saved in my list on Amazon for.... I dunno, a pretty good while lol.... good eye, man.

 

Holy crap! Scroll down to the Q&A on that... that's the price for the PAIR!

 

I would say 235/75r15 tires are your best bet.

also about the tail master kit you mentioned, I would avoid that.

 

I would question the validity of that answer--one of the reviews said it is for one. The q&a answer is from "liftkitsforless", but the item is sold by trends auto

this is the "trends auto" pair, with u-bolts and bushings

also just wanted to add--you will need an alignment after the lift install....and you might get drive line vibrations at 3" (more common with an '01 and '00 ). You can temporarily use a t case drop until you save the money for a SYE--which is my next question; which transfer case do you have?

 

I have no idea what transfer case I have. And if I went and looked at it I would have nothing to reference it to.

So what Im gathering is I either spend the bucks on a 3" lift and the extras to fit the 31s. or just simply go the 100% stock route and stuff 235/75s in there and keep the cost down? or is going stock the same price?
