I don't think there are any long arm kits for 3 inches of lift.

Im sure you can piece it together. Get springs, shocks, leafs, all that good stuff. And some adjustable long arms. Cause they connect to the crossmember. Someone correct me if im wrong.

Sense he's new. I have to add 3.5" is enough for 33s if you cut the fenders. Also its not just the amount of lift that determines the amount of flex.

it pretty much determines zero amount of the flex. 4.5" is honestly perfect because you can get 10" of travel on 35's if you're not afraid to trim and not have to work that hard to achieve it (you can do it lower but it's gonna require measuring. I'm lazy). if you can do that on 4.5", why would anyone ever go taller?

answer: to save your fenders. ghey
or have more uptravel for go-fast. but if you're doing that properly I'll assume you know what you're doing

I have the Zone 3" on my 01 im happy with it but it being an 01 you might need to get a slip yoke eleminator kit. I am fixxing to swap rear axles so I have waited to do a SYE kit.

I was looking to get Synergy's 4 link in the near future, which looks extremely similar to this. I'll definitely be considering this kit too.

You wouldnt happen to know any difference (positive or negative between the two?
