Default Best 3in lift

What's a good Inexpensive 3inch lift. I'd like one that's easy to install. It's a lot for looks, also please let me know what I need to extend such as drive shaft, Steering link, ect.

At 3 inches, you shouldn't have to mess with the driveline or steering.

But more money = better quality. You pretty much get what you pay for when it comes to lifts. If you pay dirt cheap, it's gunna ride like dirt.

Alright I was looking at one of the Rusty's XJ Complete Cherokee 3" Spring Pack Kit with Tire & Wheel Package. Looks decent to me. But that's all I want to do. I don't want to add to the drive shaft or blow u-joins ever 20,000 miles. Just want something that looks sharp and functions when I have a big whitetail on the roof.

Rusty would be a good starter lift

okay I think that's what I'm going to go with. With a 3 inch the only extensions should be the brake lines, correct ?

If you are not disconnecting. The sway bars you should not need brake lone extensions.

AFter I went to 3" I did need and adjustable track bar.
