Default new sway bar and lift

If I'm getting a RC 3 in lift do I need to drop the swaybar and do I need new control arms? I don't know if I should be cheap and do the series 1 or 2 and get all the goodies.

Do the 2 with rear springs. Got half of my shipment in today.Also call and ask for Jason he's the man got me hooked up like a champ lol.

As far as I have read (I'm not the expert by far on this) you shouldn't need anything else stabilizers are nice but not needed, I'm hoping to get some in the near future when money permits.

I'm wondering if I even need swaybar drop or anything of that nature, and new control arms and I'm not buying their leaf packs ill get factory ones when I can.

^ You shouldn't run a stock sway bar link with a 3" lift. It's going to hit the coil.

Exactly.... I would get some adjustable quick discos, I wouldnt waste money on extended sway bar links if your going to actually wheel it

You'll more than likely need at least sway bar drop brackets. They should work until you can get some discos, just don't get discos that are too long for a small lift. I made that mistake...almost put the top of the disco thru the wheel well on the first hard bump I hit...bad day.
