Default 3" Lift

Hey guys, I've tried searching all over the web for a 3" lift kit that comes with brand new leaf springs (not the AAL). I'm looking for a good kit with new coils for the front and new leafs for the back (no spacers or blocks). Oddly enough I can't seem to find a kit for my truck which includes that. Would just buying new factory oem leaf springs and adding an AAL be my only option? Mabey you guys know of a kit that I can`t find, any light you can shead on this would help me greatly. Thanks.

Hmm I looked at their site and only saw kits with AAL, is there a kit they don't have on the website?

you may have to bump to a 5" lift...OR....just go to your local spring shop and have them make you a set....

Okay thanks sheriff, so would you recommend to piece a kit together, such as control arms, sway bar drop brackets, and shocks?

I thought 5" with 33x12.50 on 16"x10" wheels with a 4" backspace would look alittle funny? If it would look okay I have no problems with a 5" lift, always thought 3" works well with 33's and 5" with 35's.

its all personal preferance, if you go with a nice aggressive tread such as an MT tire....it would look nice even with 5" lift.....

You have to get the System, not the Kit. SJ has a 3" System that you can get in Stage I or Stage II, with Hydro or Nitro.
