Looking into buying a lift and trying to do my research.
I'm dead set on a 3inch but the two lifts I'm looking at are different.
One comes with lower control arms and the other does not.
What is the advantage of the new lower controls arms should I pay the little extra money for the lift with the control arms or not worry about it.

Take a real close look at your stock lower control arms and you'll have your answer.

At the ones that come in a kit longer then the stock ones or are thy pretty much the same thing

All the ones ive seen in kits are adjustable and far more substantial than the OE arms.

Got it I guess the extra 80 bucks or so will be worth it in the long run I plan on having this jeep till it rots away haha

IMO if you go Lower go upper also. I read that you just need lowers so I went with fixed length for a 3 inch and now the pinion angle is pretty off so I need to get adjustable uppers to fix it.

Would the lower and uppers be adjustable

EvstaG

Usually not necessary to get both adj. lowers and uppers. You can keep the stock uppers with little issue for up to moderate-height lifts. Once you go higher, if you are insistent on not getting long arms, you will need to extend both the upper and lower arms. You only need one set (uppers or lowers) to adjust for caster/pinion angle, you need both to be adjustable or at least longer than stock to adjust for wheel well centering.
