Default unibody structure needed?

Ok i plan on ordering the Rusty's 3 inch full spring lift kit and i know i need a rear drive shaft and could need a SYE but what about the over all unibody structure? do i NEED frame stiffeners or anything in that category. this is a street queen with some mild wheeling. I just do not want major problems with the structure of the jeep.


Thank you for all the input. Every little bit of info is greatly appreciated.

For a 3 inch lift you do not need any frame stiffeners and will not need a SYE. You will not need a new driveshaft unless your is damaged. If you have any vibrations in the driveline after the lift the most you will need is a transfer case drop kit.

There's lots of people that wheel there Jeeps without the stiffeners or a cage. If you've got the money they are good way to strengthen the structure of your rig though. JMO
