For a 3 inch lift, u would only need a transfer case drop of one inch. That's what I did to mine. I made my own from some steel rod in my lathe and drilled a hole in center (4 pieces).

Yeah a transfer case drop will be the cheapest route to go. Probably run you like 20 bucks. An SYE is a better option but the TC drop will band aid it for quite a while. Especially if you only stay at 3".

Jeep is lookin good bro keep it up!

So I still have a clunking noise in my suspension somewhere. I bought some upper control arm bushings hoping that this will fix it. It is so annoying hearing it when I drive

I went to the bar and got myself an awsome 8 ball. I drilled and tapped it and it looks pretty sweet, definitely my best pool game ever!
