[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 460637, member: 19161"] With a 3" lift you should have adjustable control arms and track bar. Less likely, but still a possibility, new driveshafts given the geometry of the lift. Typically, about 2.5" of lift is about the limit before needing to upgrade control arms, track bars, etc. to accommodate the change in geometry. The best shocks in the world won't cure the issues associated with stock control arms working at their threshold. And, as already mentioned, lose the wheel spacers. The only thing they're good for is ensuring some suspension part, wheel and tire warranties are voided and not being able to find a reputable mechanic to work on your JKU. [/QUOTE]
