Are you looking for a lift that 'says' 3 inches but actually gives quite a bit more, or a lift that actually 'gives' 3 inches? And since there are varying levels and opinons on what 'complete' is, what is your definition...

What size of tires do you want to run? Let's start from there.

2 door or 4 door caus ei think or at least ive heard the teraflex 2.5 coil yeilds 3 exactly. And i have found that at or under 3 inch's you dont need alot of the junk like new drive shafts etc.

Depends on which 3" kit you get. Download the 2009 catalog from my sig line. Look on page 9 for 3" kits and page 10 for 2.5" kits. You will either need to modify the crossmember or replace the front driveshaft with any lift kit in this range. Run the stock driveshafts till they fail, replace the front first.
