Fortec lifts???
Anyone hear anything about these? They are cheaper than some other products. Funny, I am worried they are crap merely for that fact, and that I never really hear about them. But they do have a spot in a neighboring city http://w ww.fortec4x4.com/home.php

sorry, Yes for a 3" lift you need control arms to adjust your caster and pinion.
You can install a 3" lift without adjustable control arms. But it wont drive as nice. you really need them to fine tune your suspension.

Ok- this is perfect. So for 35's, and a 3 inch lift, my entire worry is loss of road worthyness. So, control arms for front and back, new coils, and shocks, 4.5 backspacing?? anything else? Thank ya.

If you have a 4 door, 6 speed the driveshafts are not really needed.
auto, yes on the front.

technically, you only really need adjustable front lower control arms to set your pinion angle and adjustable rear uppers to set your pinion angle and if you have a 4-door, you don't even need that as the drive shaft is long enough that it won't give you any trouble.
