i have a 97 sc that i put a 3 inch lift on. performance accesories, is the brand. couldnt be happier with it. i put 35,s on with some 16x8 ar baja wheels. be sure and either spray your frame black or under coat it. looks really good ,like a whole new truck. it comes with all the brackets to raise the bumpers and everything. good luck. with install about 350. paid 850.00 for wheels and tires

make shure you get the bumper kit, so their wont be a 3" gap, You will gain nothing but being able to run bigger tires, I would go with more suspension before body. I'm not shure on the newer vehicles, but older jeeps would be affected in the steering angle and gap, So do the research before choising one that you want.

I have both a suspension lift and a body lift. I am happy with the body lift although i feel less confident going around corners at more than 10 mph.
