so im on my 2nd jeep now. and tired of it sitting stock lookinf into another budget lift. possibly 3inch over stock coil springs and a full size AAL. with stock shocks. also this is my DD and i hit the trails about once a month so. whats your guys input on this setup

 

Moved to Chat.

I think a 3" lift, if done right, can be really really fun and capable.

 

Also don't do a AAL it won't hold it up 3" very long... if you don't have the money to do it right the first time, you probably don't have the money to redo it right a second time!

 

My AAL has lasted well over a year, no sag in sight.

 

Wat brand?

 

Ya give it another year...

 

mine too

Gee oh Dee is BDS i think and mine are fatbobs 1.5" short, and Zone offroads 2" long

 

lol, what are you leaving out here? Was it installed on brand new leaf packs?

 

Its BDS, and the leafs were not sagging.

They are also full length and have a stiff ride with marginal flex. If I went to a slider box it would flex like crazy.

 

thanks for the inout! greatly appreciated!

 

also would i NEED control arms. what exacly does it improve over stock?

 

Stock has control arms too, which are a HUGE improvement over no control arms, cuz then there'd be nothing holding the axle to the body, lol.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I assume you're talking about the lower control arms that come with some kits. Think about this, when your axle moves away from the wheel wells, those control arms pivot at one end, and therefore swing back. when you lift a vehicle, you have moved the axle away from the body, and a slightly longer lower control arm will help correct your caster angle.
