Front lower control arms (I have stock), Swaybar drop brackets, and a drop Pitman arm.

This is all for a 3" lift, with 31's. I don't want to pay for nice-ities right now. I can add all the bells and whistles later on.

Tryin to see if it's worth paying $75.00 more (for the tubular front lower control ams (RC) and swaybar drop brackets).

Thank you!

 

i dumped my stock sway bar so i don't know the answer on that one. you do not need a pitman arm drop. I would recommend adjustable lower control arms however at 3" the stock ones will work still.

 

Thanks Cdwall. Can I just relocate the hole for my track bar too (3/4" I believe)? I saw it in a Jeep magazine, where they did a Zone lift and did that. I just hope that wouldn't cause a DW issue, moving the track bar out 3/4" from the stock hole location.

 

Yes that's fine. The tre will wear faster just fyi.

 

the front lower control arms do help, sway bar drop brackets are not needed at 3". I'd never use a drop pitman arm unless I had changed the angle of the track bar, or lowered the drag link at the axle end too. The angle of the drag link needs to match the angle of the track bar.

 

Thanks guys! What a TRE by the way?

 

i would spend the money for an adjustable track bar. im replacing my third track bar after using the drill and move method. Tie Rod End at body mount is smoke and the hole you drill has more potential to woller out causing more issues.

 

The first lift kit I bought was a Skyjacker 3" w/ full packs. It was pretty basic as far as parts included. Springs, lower control arms, track bar relocation bracket, shocks and hardware. So a 3 inch kit you can keep pretty basic and still have work.

TieRod End. Its the greased joint that mounts the trackbar to the trackbar mount on the body.

 

For a 3", I would recommend an adjustable track bar. stock lower arms work just fine and a pitman arm drop is not needed.
