Default 88 suspension lift

Just got an 88 lorado and was wondering if I put a 3 inch lift how much other components should I replace...I.E. upper control arms...track bar...sway bar links...drag link etc.

That all depends on the current condition of the original parts and what your plans are for the jeep.

Every xj reacts differently to lifts. I put a 3 inch on mine and needed a new track bar, others didn't have to. You won't know until you get it all put together.

You likely need a new track bar, longer brake lines(or remount the bracket for extra length), and if you want the most out of your kit, id upgrade the LCA's at the very least. And possibly a SYE(every jeep is different)
