Rustys rides smoother than rc to me...I personally love my 3 inch rustys kit..actually got over 3.5 inches out of it.

Yes that would work. Still would recommend going rustys...you'll get all new shocks with the 3 inch kit...

Yes that will work only issue is you keep the stock shocks and will be close to the limit on them leading to ****ty ride. The shackles will also probably help wear those stock leaf packs down pretty quick.

I know people say omg don't use blocks! How many of you have actually used blocks? I had 1" blocks for quite a while with no ill effects. If you have big blocks it really increases leverage on the springs and causes axle wrap but 1"ers are minimal and really don't have an issue in my experience.

Depends on what you want to do with your jeep and also how much willing to spend. If off road get something with 3 ply side wall like the bfgs have for example. If going to be a dd mostly with little wheeling get an at tire.
