Default what needs to be replaced??

Lookin at getting a 3 in lift for my 2wd just untill i can get the money to swap over to 4wd this summer. My plan is find cheap used coils and depending on what i find blocks and shackles. yes yes i know blocks are bad. But they will suffice untill i can make a bastard pack.

Now my question is i have an 01. I know i'll need new shocks, will i need a SYE and longer brakelines? Anything else i will need?

Front coils from a grand cherokee with a V8 should bring the front up a inch or 2. I don't like block because I got axle wrap from those. Thats all I have for now. Lots of stuff going on atm

If you get vibrations, then you need to lessen the driveline angle. For a 3" lift you shouldn't even need more than 2 degree shims. Lots of 4.5" lift kits come with 4 or 6 degree shims from what I've seen. So you should be fine with a 2 degree shim if you get vibrations. Everyone's Jeep is different, but lots of people can go 4" or more without vibrations.
