Default Installed 3" kit

Put it on today. Took about 4 hours give or take, including the track bar. Had one front lower shock bolt break, and had to cut one rear upper bolt, but those had already been replaced with new bolts once.

3" Rough Country kit with full leafs, JKS adjustable track bar.



Some driveline vibes mostly noticable around 25-35 mph (and seems to be very minimal after that), and only a hint of death wobble sometimes, which seems to go away pretty much immediately.

I'm gonna drop the t-case mount.

Is 1 inch enough drop for a 3" lift?

I have the same kit and a 1" T-case drop fixed my vibes. Nice looking Jeep!
