I didn't see any front springs in that kit.
Am I wrong  ???

 I've installed both lifts on kick's before. The spring pocket is a slightly different position between the two arms. I'm not sure, but I think the 3" arms are just about the same spring pocket as the stock arms, just a heavier design with a different ball joint angle (but I could be wrong about that). If you have Heather post some pics about her 95 4dr suspension, you'll see that she uses the Calmini 2" with different front springs and BDS lift TJ springs with a modified 3" body lift and with a little creative sheetmetal work, she clears 33s with no problem! Can't wait till she goes SAS!!! ;D

Here's what I am running with my Calmini 2 inch. However, we like to custom make a lot of our stuff, it's a lot cheaper that way, especially if you have buddies with welders, BFHs, Cutting Tools, and torches. ;)

I am running Rancho 5115 shocks in the back, they work well and allow for about 2 inches more droop than the Calmini ones. I also ran OEM (FRONT!) Jeep TJ springs in the back, but upgraded to the 2" Lifted BDS Front TJ Springs. I have a heavy butt on my truck, if you haven't seen the bumper. *grin*

I also ran Daystar Jeep TJ Spring Spacers 1 3/4" in the back for a long time, but took them out with the BDS springs.

We have a custom extended wheelbase:

That was to fit the 33's... The rears in 4 Doors are different than that of 2 doors, so some of you might not have this problem.

And we are running longer I don't know what they are coil springs in the front.

It's the result of the large caverness space between the lugs. Stick your head out the window and listen to them purr as you pick up speed. Pretty coolllll....People can hear you coming.

;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm hoping that with 2 inch suspension and 3 inch body i can run 31X9.50's with the stock bumpers without having to do much trimming.

I'd say this is probably very do-able, but keep the angle grinder/BFH handy... :D
