Question

I am interested in a 3 inch lift

Answer 1

For 3" go with Rusty's or Full Traction. Hi quality and low prices

There are better kits but the price goes up drastically. OME will be better riding than either of these, and even though it is advertised as 2.5" you'll more than likely get 3", but it is much more expensive. Rubicon Express 3.5" is a great kit as well, check into that one. Nth Degree and Clayton Offroad would probably be considered the "best", but they are very expensive long arm kits, I'd imagine they're well beyond what you want or need.

Answer 2

Rusty's are not premium lifts, they are a budget lift kit and you get what you pay for. If you're looking for a good but inexpensive lift, Rough Country is a good choice.

As far as best lift kit, that all depends on how you'll be using your Wrangler and how much you are willing to spend. nth Degree actually makes what many are saying is the best lift kit today. Skyjacker does make a good kit as does Rubicon Express, Fabtech and BDS. You really cannot go wrong with any of the three.

Answer 3

I have a 2006 TJ X.... Just lifted it up on 06/20/08... Rides pretty good (wranglers dont ride great anyway). With mine I did not need a drive shaft, it came with tranny drop case(sometimes hard to get it in reverse), and also came with shocks (some do not come with shocks like Rubican Express but is a good -expensive- product). Manual tranny, 6cyl, 4'' Rough Country suspension lift ($550), M/T Classic II's 15x10, M/T Baja MTZ's 33x12.5, Bestop tire carrier, Rugged Ridge front & rear bumpers and sidesteps, alignment cam, and two 6'' KC daylighters. Next is gears, axels, and a locker. Mine looks great! Rides good! And I love it! I use it for on and off road (99% on road). If you live in a hilly area you really need to put gears for climbing hills (if you have 31'' now and go to 33'' and have 373's change to 430's to keep it really close to stock ratio. 343's to 410's/ not sure what exact ratios are but that type basis will be close). I live in an area of very moderate hills and just pulling a jet ski I have had to drop from 6th to 4th on a easy hill(on road). Oh alignment cam is cheap 45-65 dollars (cant remember). 16'' rims look great but 15'' perform better in mud (floatablility) and also a lil cheaper. Oh and for a bumper make sure you get a towing rated bumper with hitch. And you will need to get a tire carrier soon cause it will mess up your back door at some point (heavy!) Good Luck!
