Default ebay lift

Found this lift on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-Dod...01484866QQrdZ1

my question is, other 3 inch kits come with i believe longer control arms (i think there longer, they may just be stronger, i dont know),
either way, are longer control arms needed for going up 3 inches? i do mild offroading, mostly following my buddies around and pulling them out of the situations they get into, but every now and then ill go through some mud and climb a hill, I plan on running either 33s or 35s. Are longer control arms necessary?

i have that lift on my truck.. works fine and no you dont need new control arms.. anything over 3 you start replacing the trackbar pitman arm and control arms..looks nice too... little bit bigger then a 2500 ram

it rides alittle rougher because of the rancho shocks they give you.. not because of the lift.. you keep your stock coils but just add those spacers and the blocks in the back wont make it ride rougher.. a lot of people dont like stacking blocks but i do that to mine and i never had a problem with it.. if you want a smoother ride later on just find a new set of shocks that are softer

i agree with everything said above and top gun makes some good lifts. there is no way your fitting 35's though with 3 inches.

i was planning on doing that but im going to try building a lift.. 3 inch coils.. drop track bar bracket, pitman arm, 5 inch lift control arms and such.. so pretty much 3 inch spacers.. 3 inch coils and everything you need for a 5-6 inch lift.. so far its only about 500 bucks for everything.. instead of 1000+ for a 5 inch lift
