If i were you id go with jks quick disconnects, i have a 3in lift as well and thats what ive got and they work extremely well. Their a little pricy, but its well worth the extra investment.

So lots of stuff happened today... I'm going to say how it all went then post pictures after... So... Started off with everything working out fine in the front end, everything fit and nothing broke, then it was on to the back. Started off easy with the tires, then the first bolt. Found out the weld bolt in the frame was broken off so we cut the bolt off, and holly **** was it hard, so got that one out, then it was to the rear bolt, come to find my hitch was blocking that from getting taken out so cut that one. Then on to the next side... The front bolt sheared off so again had to cut it out and go through the frame to put the new one on... That really sucked but again the rear bolt was not able to be taken out so cut that... The leafs went on pretty easy but taken the old ones off sucked. So got those off and put on the new ones that went pretty easy except putting on the bolts in the front cuz had to put in new bolts. So leafs on I went to put shocks on... They won't fit wth rough country the shocks just won't go over the bolts on the axle... Don't get that one so going to call the, to figure that one out on Monday. So went with no sway bars right now might put them on later. But also don't have shocks in the back so it's really bouncy and sketchy Round tight corners... But I like it still love the 3 inch and 31s will post pics later tonight when I get back home....



Merry Xmas all

Went up to a little road near Bozeman, when we got up there about 100 yards in there was a pretty much stock f250 that was mad stuck in the snow. He dug himself so far in that his axles were almost under the snow. Don't have any pictures cuz it was starting to get dark and I said we would help them get out. Couldnt get him out . Come to find there are 2 more 4runners that were stuck up above him. one 4runner got out then got stuck trying to go around the f250 and had to pull them out and get them fine. It was already 7 30 and didn't feel like driving up a road that was already way tore up from other people getting stuck so we called it a day. Gave both the guys my number and might go get them tomorrow.
