3" lift enough?

Hey everyone, so I have parts piling up in the garage right now and I am almost ready to get to work. I plan to run coilovers in the future but it will be well over a year or so before I can afford to dump the time and money for that upgrade. I love wheeling, and I want to make sure 3" EVO is enough to be able to go do some pretty serious wheeling. I am running flat fenders with 35's right now, so would it be smarter to run 4" or will 3" be enough to have fun while I save for the CO? Any input from ya'll is greatly appreciated.

3" is more than enough to clear 35s and flats. On my 2 door I ran a 2.5" lift and cleared 37s with no problems.

It's plenty with flats, I'm on a 1.5" lift and 35's

I ran 35's with flat fenders on a 2inch EVO level and it worked great!

You can get 37s to fit with no lift if you try (read cut) enough...not very functional for wheeling though

So since I am going with the 3" EVO, which I have already, would ya'll recommend I run 37's? I care more about functionality and ability than anything else.

I have the 3" EVO and I have plenty of room for 37s. The only thing stopping me in the D30 up front. But if you're even considering doing 37s then get them. You'll regret it if you didn't

That is such a great thing to hear, thank you for chiming in. I am gonna check around for a good deal at a local AT.

Here'a also a 3" kit with 315's, a true 35 will fit no problem. I think a 37 will definitely rub with the fenders I have and full width bumpers.

I have 4" Evo springs, flats and 37's and sometimes I wish I had got the 3" ones.

Looking good Olram, feel like I haven't seen your rig in awhile!

Yeah, I haven't done much to her. But she's still alive and kicking.
