Looking to do about 3 inches of suspension lift on my 98 GMC z71. Looking for tips, opinions and advice from those who have already done this. Thanks

NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they are all over priced wastes of money, keys do NOTHING one these trucks, the stock keys get you to the droop stops, you CAN NOT go higher then that. If the stock keys don't get you that far your bars are sagging and NO keys are gonna fix it you need bars.

crank the stock front end up and block the rear, that's the best option.

Any of the kits and the stock keys are gonna cause stiff ride and very fast front end part wear.

So honestly to save the front end buy a body lift that's 3 inches.

If not buy a real 4 inch or bigger kit and set it to what height you want, or crank the stock front, why waste $500 on something you can do for free?

Don't waste your money on a 3 inch lift, it will ride horrible and ruin your suspention parts.

I honestly think you should go with a 3" BL... It will keep your stock ride and driveline angles, and give you the added tire clearance you're looking for

no need in doing hd bars, could cause more issues crank the stockers to level it up, if they don't do it then yea change bars.
