Do it once do it right i went 3 inch originally and regret not waiting and saving the money to go 4.5 but buy new leaf packs to dont use a S****y AAL its just going to sag

Yeah i would just save and buy a 4'5 leaf pack instead of spending money on a 3 and later in life going with something bigger.

Yeah it's all up to what you want to do with your jeep better to save a little more and get the 4.5"

an with the 4.5 do i need the control arm drop kit?

I am very happy with my 3in lift but I'm a 2wd if I was 4wd I would have def run 4.5 on the control arm issue to do it the "right" way yes a drop kit is the way to go however there is nothing wrong with running longer lca's the biggest difference is in the way it rides the more parallel to the gound your lca's are the smoother the ride however on a 4.5 you won't really notice a difference between drop kit or longer lca's whatever you prefer or want to spend the money on but you will need to choose something stock set up won't work on a 4.5
