Stock control arms work with 3" of lift. You can get new ones from RockAuto for about $50.

Plan on spending at least $130 plus shipping. Check out IRO or Serious Offroad.

As said, the stock LCA's should be fine at 3" unless you are just super serious about fine-tuning your caster.

The LCA's off another model Jeep (it escapes me right now) will be the right length for a 3" lift, and would be a cheaper alternative. You can get them for about $50 a pair on rock auto...

I've had stock lca's and 3" lift for almost two years now, they work fine. I prefer the stock rubber bushings over the solid bushings and tractor links that rock crawlers use. If I did a lot of rock crawling and/or wanted to push my stock links to the breaking point, (which not a lot of people do) then I would upgrade the links. Of course it's all up to you though.
