I would highly recommend getting the full leaf packs. The aal will beat you to death. Some people on here will tell you to stay away from Rough Country, but I've had my RC lift for 10 years and don't have to many complaints. I had an aal for about 9.5 years, just recently installed new RC 3.5" full leaf packs. Wow what a difference, wish I would of went with those from the begining.

At three inches I highly doubt it. I don't need one at 4". No TC drop either. They are all a little different, but at 3" you'd probably be dealing with steering adjustments as well as brake line adjustments... Something I've been meaning to do one mine! Gotta be careful to not flex it too much yet as I don't know just how far I can go.. Annoying..

At minimum it's gonna be a couple hundered bucks if you do it yourself and get stuff real cheap/used. IRO has the yoke, seal and hardware for 140++. You'd still need a shaft and shims.
