Money is a real issue for me right now as it is formost of us.

I put together a list from Zone offroad. Is this all i need or is there some parts i don't need that are listed.

actual 3" kit offcourse.

drop pitman arm

sway links

4* shims

T/C drop kit

This is a DD and will not see more than trail ridding so i figured a temporary AAL set-up would be acceptable.

I'm not crazy about getting an AAL, but right now i don't have much choice. I figured i'd get about 4-6mos out of the AAL then i'll get some full packs. so what do ya's think?
thanks alot.

 

with 3" you can do without the drop pitman arm and maybe even tc drop. get some LCA's instead.

 

I would get longer lower front control arms. The drop pitman isnt necessary, and the tc drop may not be necessary if you are using shims. If it sags you could always add a shackle to bump the rear a bit, which will also rotate the pinion and decrease vibes...good luck!

 

Lower c/a's??? really??? I thought for a 3" i wouldn't need c/a's,but i'll add them to the list and subtract the pitman.

what about the sways

thanks again for the help guys

 

u do need the sway bar drop brackets, definitely. or it will ride like crap

 

get some quick discos, or even make some for up front. but if your really not doing any wheeling making some is a cheaper option

 

ride like crap? i dont have drop brackets and it rides just fine, i went without a front swaybar for a short time, i noticed more body roll, but even then i still didnt ride any different

 

we put a lift kit on my buddy's 2001. didn't have sway bar drop brackets yet, so we took it for a ride without them and it rode as stiff as a log. when we got them on, it smoothed out. know other people that had the same problem. yours might be an exception, or i might have just seen a few xjs with problems.

 

well i do agree with this, every rig is different. just like some get vibs with a 3" lift some dont.
