I would upgrade and get full leaf packs. AAL will sag eventually. If you're gonna add shackles and coil spacers why not just do the 4.5 in lift. You may or may not need an sye or tc drop with a 3 in lift. You will need it for sure with a 4.5 in lift along with longer brake lines. You will also have to relocate your track bar or get an adjustable track bar. Check out this thread lots of good info for you to look through.

i will eventually upgrade to the full leafs.
im not gonna be doing heavy wheeling(second car, im a sophomore in highschool, dont have alot of money) so a 4.5 really isnt needed, and would be more money than i have to spend, which is why i settled on the 3'' for looks, and to get where i need to go when i go hunting or to pull buddys out.

and if i get this kit, ill be putting 32s on it so shackles and spacers are gonna be the finishing touch after trimming so the tires dont rub.

thanks for the link.

Haha only 3" that's what they all say but sure throw some spacers and shackles on if you want 32"s. Also you might want to look for some adjustable lcas and of course brake lines.
