I got them from a friend that had them for 1000 miles and upgraded to 33's ... $250 plus mounting and the spare came mounted on a black still that matches my set but i think Discount sells them for $182 ea

when you first got it, what did it all have on it for the 3'' lift?
shackles and spacers up front? how did it ride?

im thinking about doing that temporarily since its cheap, until i have money for a real lift, because it looks good, and is under 500$ for thsoe rims and spacers and shackles.

When I got it it had 3'' pucks in the front and 3'' blocks in the rear. I don't know how it rides stock but the ride was ok with this stuff but now that I have the new leafs in the rear it rides better .... if it was me i would just save your money and get a full lift

blocks....
i would just save up, but im a sophomore in highschool. full lift will come later when i have a decent paying job.

and under 500$ for 3'' lift, window d rims is alot better than saving up 800$ and buying a good lift, but having 0$ for wheels and rolling around on 4.5'' and 30s. in my opinion

Blocks are just what they sound like there just blocks of metal that go in between your leafs and axle. shackles are the better option ... its your Jeep do what you want it just sucks putting $200 into pucks and shackles when your still going to pay for a full lift later
