I installed the Rough Country 3" lift kit with all new springs on my 84. The ride is not bad at all. One of the things I did notice is there are no bushings for the shackles at the frame. If I am removing the shackles, I might as well put in new bushings. The bushings used for the shocks at the front axle did not fit very well. I would also suggest new, longer brake lines. The install took me a day to do. Make sure you have stands high enough for the frame to accommodate the arch of the springs. You will NOT need a new drag link. The stock one works just fine. Also, make sure you have PB Blaster. The price I paid was well worth it! The kit came with 4 springs, 4 shocks and various hardware components. I believe I paid about $300.00 less shipping about a year ago.
