So a buddy of mine got me a set of gy wranger rts tire for free they're 31x10.50r15 they have 12thousands inch on them. And I heard that I have to lift my jeep. Im thinking a 3in lift. Im looking at zone offroad 3in lift with new coils shocks and add a leaf for the rear for 290.00. I dont know much about lifts but do I need to drop my tc, longer swaybar links, etc. I want to do my luft right and have no problems with my drive train. Oh and the tires are going to be on craigers soft 8 got em from jy for $20 for all 4

When i first did my 3" lift from zone i needed Track Bar, swaybar links,t-case drop. Go HERE this person is looking into about the same lift

Do I need a adjustable track bar

Dumajones

Mmmm for A 3", no you should be ok stock. My 96 cherokee is stock T-Bar with a 3" lift. I think 3 is the max on stock T-bar.

I just went and checked the center of my 96 Cherokee axle and with the stock T-bar 3" lift it sits over to the passenger side 1". But it drives fine.

I had to get an adj track bar after I put my Zone 3" kit on. Also needed new lower control arms as I was getting some wobble in the front and a little bump steer.

I found a rough country lift for 345.66 come with aal shocks coil spring and lower cntrl arm. Adjustable trsck arm for 129.50 and tc drop kit for 30.24. Total of 560.77 with tax and shipping

There are a ton of horrible reviews on RC lifts. Poor quality.

If your rear leaf springs are already worn and sagging adding an AAL will not give you the appropriate amount of lift to match the front. For 3" of lift you will either need an adjustable track bar or you can re-drill the hole and use the factory one. T-case drop is difficult. Some jeeps need them at 3" others don't. I prefer to do it right the first time and get a SYE but then your talking about more money and that's a whole new story.

Depends on the Jeep. I needed an adjustable track bar at 1.5" of lift. As well as extended brake lines.

I prefer to piece together my lifts. I'm somewhere around 3" now. I've got new springs all around, new rear shackles, adjustable track bar, 1 ton steering, extended bumpstops, new upper and lower control arms, extended brake lines, and about to do a shackle relocation. And I've got less money in it than most 3" kits cost.

I wouldn't buy RC. My MJ had a brand new 4.5" RC lift when I got it. A month later I took the lift off and pieced together my own 2" for it. And I've bent one of the RC shackles on my XJ.

Cut the fenders and run them with no lift

kirknd4spd

I'm with XJmike. Really, they're only 31's. I've stuffed 33's under a bone stock XJ. Only reason I went to 3" is to fit 35's.

I ran 31's on my XJ stock with the fenders still on and uncut. I PERSONALLY did not have problems with my RCX lift, but that was just me.

I have a zone and have pretty much been happy with it. I got the new leaf packs in the rear and they gave me a horrible shackle angle. Leaf spring sliders fixed that for me.

You should also plan on new tires very soon if I am reading your post correctly that the tires you got for free have 12 thousandths of an inch left on the tread. That is 0.012 inch. That is worn out.
