a lift for your truck is very simple expecially just a 3 inch.

-get a lift so that the rear springs delete any or all blocks used fro m the factory. so if you have a factory 3inch block and want to go up 3 more inches make sure to order springs that are 6inches taller than the factory ones so you can delete the block. -not necisary but better-

-get good shocks. with such a small lift there will be MANY MANY differend kinds of shocks to choose from. i like air shocks for these bigger trucks. gives you that littel extra capacity when you want it or cushion when you dont.

- i wouldnt worry about a pitman arm with just a 3 inch. your geometry will be fine

i like my skyjacker's but they're 4 inch but he's right about the shocks they make a world of difference cause i had to ride around for a while with no shocks on the back (bad idea)

I would. My truck bump steered with 2" Syjacker springs up front until I installed the drop pitman.

and 6in in the rear to delete the blocks which the farmer i bought the truck off of welded to the axle so this will be interesting

I'm planning for crossover steering when I lift... the stock push/pull type rubs my tire so I can only steer part way to the right. :ouch:

I found Skyjacker softride rear leafs for $300 each. Wish I could remember if they were 4" or 6". Stock replacements were in the $280-350 range. I've looked online too, but freight cost is insane. :argh:

'Jungle' over at RCC makes some nice lift hangers. :tu:

Get a drop pitman arm. Mine has the drop arm and kingpin spacer if I remember right. Just for the 6" lift but will one day go to crossover steering. Also get steering stabilizers.
