I'm looking where I can get a front lift kit, And what I would need to do to front end.

3" lift needs:
Springs or spacers for the front, springs or springs with shackle for the rear.
Shocks
alignment

You should also get;
Adjustable Trackbar.
Adjustable Lower control arms
SYE
Longer rear brake line.

id love to see you install coil spacers in 30 min

or were you talking about making them in that time?

For a 3inch lift you dont need an SYE. Maybe a tcase drop kit.

Bet I could do it in half that time or less on my rig. Then again it might have to do with the fact that I can easily get my springs out when flexed. Either way 30 mins in a well equipped shop not a problem. When I did my 4.5" (with all four shocks, springs front and rear, shackles, front lower control arms adjustable track bar) it was done inside and hour and a half. That was with a beer or two in the mix. Also I really didn't hit any snags at all, all bolts came out nicely.

lol, just making them

BUT... if i was at my old job, I could do it... neat little tool the clamps around the springs and compresses them in seconds (hooks up to the air compressor)

Rusty's have 3" coils for $100, I like the way they ride.

If you need a TC drop then by definition you need a SYE. Reason a TC Drop is a shortcut or stop-gap step for a SYE. Reason you would do a TC Drop or SYE is driveline vibrations the Cure is a Double cardon or CV drive shaft. Sometimes you can "GET BY" with only a TC Drop. Tc Drop can be done for $5, so its worth a try. BUT plan to get the SYE, soon.

and i can just add these to a stock jeep? and itll be lifted 3 inches? no expensive lifting kit?

I just did a 3" lift.

Bastard pack from an Isuzu rodeo on the back.

The front uses coils I got from a junkyard V8-ZJ, along with 1.75" spacers.
This added up to 3" perfectly for me.

The front is firm but not too firm. Feels like it will easily carry my XRC8 winch now.

I also got some new shocks. Gabriel pro ultra for 2"-3" lift. These work great, & supposedly have a limited lifetime warranty.

ericfx1984

why only lift the front?

97jeepxj1223

Because I put blocks in back, and my *** is high nose is low. And it rides funny.

ericfx1984

blocks? you could have got shackles for around the same price...

Superior automotive Chevy lowering shackles give you 1.6" or 2.6" of lift for around 30-$40
