I need 3" of lift up front, i currently have front 3" spacers with stock struts these were a waste of money i maybe got 1" or 1-1/2" lift from them. Any suggestions

Buy a Sonoran Steel 1.2 lift.

OME 881's or 882's or 883's (depending on how much weight you will be running in the front) plus a toytech spacer. $229.

I did the OME 882's up front on my '02 and got exactly 3" of lift. A word of caution: the 882's have been known to sag with the weight of an ARB bumper up front, but since I don't have one, it's not an issue for me. I've been running them over 6 months and mine haven't sagged at all. If you're planning an aftermarket bumper, go with the 883's. They'll give you 3+" of lift and are a heavier gauge spring so they won't sag with a bumper.

Also, with the 882's, you'll need to run an OME shock. They're the only ones that extend enough to mount the spring. I tried using my slightly longer than stock Rancho shocks, but they weren't long enough to handle the 882's. Take a look at the link in my sig for pics of the 882's with the shorter LC coils in the rear. They've been the perfect solution for me. Good luck!

I run the 882's, so can't speak for the 881's or 883's. I got just at 3" of lift with them and no spacer.

Conatus

x2. I have it. It rocks and is worth every penny. Save up and buy it! The support from Steve the owner is top notch!

do any of you have uneven tire wear on the outsides of the front tires or vibrations around 70mph with the lift?

If you're asking about the OME 882's, my tires have worn very evenly. The only vibrations my rig has is from the tire lugs. Also, when you lift the front 2+", make sure to install a diff drop kit to keep the CV angles in check.

So did you just have a normal front end alignment. Also do you have any wheel spacers to clear the upper a arm.
