What else would I need to do besides install these? Longer shocks? Extend brake lines? Have a line on a set of new ones for 100$, maybe less not sure yet.
It would be nice to just be able to put these in and go, but I'm sure theres more to it than that. Give me some input guys, I'm still learning.

anything above 2" requires axle drop brackets, radius arm drop brackets, pitman arm, and maybe brakelines ( anything under 4" i would say you are safe with the stock brakelines ).....

so just the 3" springs for $100 will easily escalate into much-much more....

be better off finding a complete lift....

Ok, so are these front or rear axle springs? Rears are leaf and fronts are coils.

If its fronts you will need axle drop brackets, radius arm drop brackets or long arms, shocks, brakelines, pitman arm and an alignment.

If they are rears all you will need is shocks.
