If the new ones you bought are for stock height they wont cut it, as soon as you flex youll over extend em and they will be shot before you know it...they wont have enough travel for your 3 inch lift.

Effects of lifting may show signs of following symptoms:
Mud bogging
Urban Flexing
Showing up at your grandma's birthday with a fully covered in mud jeep
Parking next to stock jeeps and/or low to the ground cars
Showing off to your friends that you can do more than their pick-ups with huge tires
And an extreme addiction to more work and parts to make your ride capable of going through hell and back

I was looking at the series II lift myself, what are your thoughts about it? anything besides a rough ride you dislike about it?

If you want a good lift go with RE as everyone else will tell you, superlift is overpriced...OME is also pretty excellent, tuff country and rough country are basically the exact same, matter of fact I think they are the same company, just one is east coast one is west coast.

May need a t-case drop. Or better yet, SYE with a new driveshaft.

Well i'm going to be adding/replacing a leaf or too from a new tj front leaf pack so maybe the new leafs with the aal (calling it an aal hybrid) will counteract to make it a better angle and ride?
