Just the lowers will be fine. Go for the double-adjustable, dont have to take them off to adjust.

Shouldn't need them on a 3" lift. Mine didn't. I bought the Skyjacker lower arms simply as upgrades. They were the exact length as stock with grease zerks and poly bushings.

You do need lower control arms at 3"

Because....?

Like I said, the aftermarket arms are the same length. This was covered a lot back in the day.

If nothing else, they make caster adjustments a LOT easier. Have better bushings. Are more rigid. Etc.
