If you haven't put the kit on yet I would return it and buy another. The three inches of lift put way to much stress on the front end and causes parts to wear out extremely quickly. The shocks provided also aren't the best either, and thus the ride sucks.

There are other ways to achieve the same, or near the same, look that are much better.

well what kind of kit would u recomend? what is the best way to go?i want somthing that is strong and that wont wear out the front end in a hurry.....

If your looking for a smaller sure enough "lift" kit I would check out Rancho or Superlift, they both offer 4.5" kits. You could also go with a leaving kit or Bilstein adjustable shocks to raise the front end, make sure you don't go over 2.5"s of lift or the front end will wear down quickly. You could aslo get an Add-A-Leaf for the rear to raise it.

The best option would be the sure enough lift kits from any company, besides the 3" Skyjacker.
