But even that isn't going to give you 3" even if it says it is going to, and in the chance that it did you're putting a lot of suspension components at terrible angles (ball joints, and cv axles, etc.). Why do you have to have 3" anyway...If its to get 33s under it I'm pretty sure you could fit them with very minor trimming and 2" of lift.

Im goin bigger than 33's im goin with 35x12.5. I would rather the 5 inches all in the suspension BUT im not paying $1500+ for some ridiculous kit and Im not doing it all with body lift. I figured that 3 suspension and 2 body is a happy medium, maybe I need to swap the 2...

The thing is that even with stock keys when you crank them you are putting a lot of stress on a lot of the front end parts you will notice stuff wearing out and in the long run you will be replacing those parts more often then stock hight and before long you will have about 1500 in the front and it would of been worth it just to pay the 1500 and get everything for it.

I hope you plan on a gear swap and a V8 swap to turn those 35s...

Oh yeah I didnt notice you had a 3.9 if you want to do 35's good luck with that. My buddy has a 4cyl 5 speed in his jeep wrangler turning 33's and its a major dog. So your talking about a v6 heavy truck turning 35's it will be like going from a v8 to a 4cyl.
