doing a three inch lift
i did a block lift in the back which i know is bad but it was only 35$ for 3 inches and i couldnt really pass that up....but in the front i ordered rustys 3 inch lift coils and i am putting them on today.....is there any advice anyone can give me or maybe any parts im gona need......i plan on doing longer brake lines in the back but the front i have plenty of slack and i had an explorer that i bought brand new shocks for and all the mounts look the same and they are alot longer has anyone ever tryed this or am i just completely wasting my time? any advice would be appreciated

You won't need anything for the front after a 3in lift except longer shocks.
All you need in the rear is longer brake line.
if you have a NP231 Tcase you will need to do something with the t-case for vibes but I assume since you are going cheap with blocks you will prolly just look at drop brakcets for the X-member then too.
Blocks suck you should have saved the 35 bucks and waited. Everyone wants to get in a big hurry. Do it right first time then you never have to worry.

Search budget boosts and stuff like that. You can make bastard packs for the rear pretty cheap. And that is even a lot better than blocks.
Also this doesn't qualify for a Jeep build moving this thread to Cherokee Chat.
Builds are what you are doing not opinions on what you should do.
Plus we love pics on build threads.

for a 3in lift adj control arms are a waste of money.
