lke everyone else said you dont need them with 3" lift but your going to want them on and off road, i have the rc 3" lvl 2 kit and the lca's are the same length as the stock ones but are curved to avoid contact with the factory bumps where they connect with the axle, even with no added length the lca's easly double how far it flexes....
if i was to do short arms again or only just do the lowers id get somthing that just slightly streaches the front.

Mine is s Series 2 with the fixed lowers and I have some very heavy duty adjustable uppers.
I started out on 3" springs and am on 5" now. My tire is centered in the well and I have out flexed JKs with 4 inches of lift on the RTI ramp. I'm on 33s and love my setup.
I have a 3" AAL in the rear with the JKS 1" boomerang shackles and the RC shackle relo kit.
My spring leaf pack is almost flat which gives me lots of droop. My shocks are the limiting factor.

I would avoid RC, except for MAYBE CAD brackets.

its fine, i realy have nothing to complain about, its good value for the money... however i got the AAL, wish i had longer LCAs and like everyone else wish i had gone higher... its a good kit for starting out and like i said its good for the money, but next time im going to save up alittle more

there are plenty of people that it is plenty sufficient for but it all comes down to your needs and how much you research

I don't think its ur c/a's. you need a trac bar. or drill another hole in ur stock bracket and move it over, but i don't like doin that. esp if you wheel alot. many have done it though.
