all the lifts are quality items.. just make sure with a 3", that you have enough length in your brake lines & your vacuum system hoses (if still using the standard hubs).

also, with a 3", you are probably going to need castor correction bushes or modified radius arms.

I have a 2" KAP lift.

you will find that the springs will bend slightly, without caster correction the steering will not self centre, would be horrible on the road, but as you are only off road try it first without. The standard arms are very weak and I found they bend/snap, the corrected arms are much stronger. You
could use correction bushes.
