Default Lower control arms

Im trying to decide between the rough country 3" lift the regular one or the series 2 one

regular
-coil spr5ings
-full rear leaf springs
-ubolts
-shocks
540 shipped

Series 2
-coil springs
-full rear leaf springs
-ubolts
-shocks
-sway bar drop links
-lower control arms

Im on a college budget and im not going to be doing a whole lot of crazy offroading just some occasional trails is it worth it to spend the extra 100 to get the control arms and swaybar drop links. Thanks alot chris

The LCA's are not needed for a 3 inch lift. I would stick with the regular kit.

If you can swing it get the Series 2

It's well worth the extra..

If your going to get the LCA's see if they will upgrade you to the adjustable ones. It may be a little bit extra but worth it more so than fixed LCA's

the difference would be the length and keeping oyur front end geometry the same.

I said get the adj. ones cause then if you choose you want more lift you dont need to buy new arms.
