The kit should come with everything you technically need for a 3" lift. You may find that you end up breaking some parts in the process though if you have a lot of rust. Just be prepared for that. Also, consider an SYE. You shouldn't need one with just 3" (I didn't) but every jeep is different. It will also be nice to have if you plan on going any higher in the future.

Yeah listen to the guy above me. 3" wish a temporary 3" lift Ian bad but it defeats the purpose of the lift lol. Save up for an SYE because if you don't do either (TC drop or SYE) you "could" get vibrations in your steering. I'm actually doing the same thing as you. (3" and 31" tires, currently have 30s) I think I read your other post. You've got an 00 Cherokee right?
I dont plan on going any higher than 3" i just dont see the point of spending over 1000$ on the kit if i wont be climbing things this is purely for off roading the cost of the kit i want is 600$ something and new tires i think will cost around 600$

What other parts you need or should get, depends on the condition of your Jeep and those suspension and steering component NOT include or need to lift the jeep. Not knowing what is included in your kit, I can't say for sure. BUT know ans research DEATH WOBBLE, which is cause by worn suspension and steering components and often happens as a direct result of lifting. Some things like TC drop or SYE, you just won't know about those, till you do the lift.

Yeah death wobble will be undrivable. Also you'll need an alignment after the left is on. So add that to the budget lol. And where are you getting tires for $600? I got 4 30" AT MasterCraft Corser and for mount and balancing it was about $750 and the 3" I was looking was around 400-500 with full leafs.
Would i be paying to much for that lift then? I looked online for tires i see them as cheep as 99$ per and max of like 200$ per tire i have brand new master crafts for the stock tire size they were like 510$

Death wobble will not be cured by just putting a stabalizer on, it comes from all parts of the front end....depending on miles you may need wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, ect.... stabalizer is good to get but you wont know till you put it on and drive it, but when you get the death wobble you'll know, its not a little wobble its A LOT of wobble...lol

Guess I'll be the first to say it:
Don't get a RC lift...
...that being said, listen to the others here, don't just spend money and expect it to be okay, make sure you have the coin to fix ANY issues that may arise after you lift. You may get lucky, and not have to do a thing, or you may have to fix issues such as DW, do a SYE, a TC drop, etc, etc, every Jeep is different.
