Well, i just got the 3" kit on and i thought i would give some tips to those planning to install it.
1. Take your time with bolts, i actually broke a bolt while taking the front bumper off
2. You dont need to disconect the 4wd shifter, and you can leave it where it is, it just sits way lower and its harder to get into 2wd and out of 4wd lo. Im still trying to figure out a way to extend it easier than welding it.
3. You can leave the gas tank all conected, dosnt affect anything
4. Make sure your steering extension is tight as hell
5. If you have a hitch, the rear bumper is gonna be a pain in the ass cause your gonna have to drill holes through the bumper brackets and the top half of where the hitch mounts.
6. With the fan shroud, make sure the fan is not gonna hit it, you should hear the god awful noise it makes lol.
7. Make sure the clips holding the brake lines together are broken, their are 2 of em.
Thats all i think of right now, its not really hard to install the kit at all, just time consuming. Ill get pics up as soon as i can find my camera, peace everyone...
