Long Arm Kit
 
I was looking at Long Arm Kit's and none of them say that you have to have a certain size of a lift so my question is do you have to have a certain size?

Most bolt on kits are 4"~ or more

Iirc , TNT Customs is the only one that advertises it will work at 3.5" and up. Most others state 4+ " but I have seen both Re and Clayton work on rigs work 3.5" lifts

Can't go wrong with a rough country long arm kit....the 4.5 or the 6.5". I have the 6.5" and it kicks *** and didn't cost me an arm and a leg like some "popular" brands do. My $.02

The only thing is I am getting a 3inch lift I really don't want anything bigger.

Another thing why wouldn't a long arm kit work on a 3inch lift? And right now also I have spacers which I am looking to keep on when I put my 3in lift on for the front it has 1 and a half inch spacers in the front and 2in shackles in the back, would that help?

Yes you can, if you like replacing bushings constantly. Rough Country is garbage. Look into the serious offroad ones they look to be on par with claytons quallity. I know I will be looking at them and TNT y-links when Im ready to buy.
