How wide of tires are you trying to run? Or do you just want that BA looking wide stance?

that too. where i live now is 10 miles of hella curvy and the wobble issue i have is scaring tha sh.. outta me. heading into a curve thats 35 it feels as if im gonna roll it. yeah, i do use my brakes but that doesnt help. just wondering if theres anyways to keep it stable. i just liked the thought of having wheel spacers stacked to run 40s+ on stock everything. lol, im crazy. i like jeeps both lowered and jackt up.

You won't have very much fun when all the lugs break off one wheel going into one of those curves... I would just slow down more.

only thing i took off was the fender flares, front bumper (was fubar), side trimming, fruity glitter butterfly stickers (chick owned it b4 me) and starter (other one went out). i'm too nervous to disconnect anything on it. its all greased up and oil soaked under the front to tell whats what. and i do slow down. i litteraly have to pump them likea **** just to catch. their new (so said the po) and have been bleed. the anti-lock is on all the time and i popped the brake light out to pass inspection.

Check your swaybar bushings. If they're old and messed up, a new set will make a huge difference.

Not too hard to change either, correct?

Easy, four bolts out POP out the old POP in the new and then bolt it back up. It's even in an easy place to work with!

As long as you have the clearance to run the 31s you should be fine with that set up. That is a common tire/wheel set up for a 3" lift. It isn't going to "run funny" but, if you are all stock it may rub.

Yes you should get new links. My advice is to grab like 3 cans of pb and soak anything that you MIGHT touch. Also I would figure out a cool place to do it at so it isn't quite as miserable.

The kit should come with sway bar lowering brackets. However, your current links will snap off when you go to remove them. The nut is not meant to come off once it is tightened.

I'm pretty sure but I just wanna make sure, will these tires fit the stock rims?

And will those tires fit after a 3" lift? Pretty sure they will but I'm just trying to make sure. Thanks in advance guys!

If your stock wheels are 15x8 or 15x7 they will fit. And you should have no problem fitting those under a 3" lift.
