woty sort of lift are you lookin for?
imho i wudnt go for 3" suspension lift it will cause you no end of trouble
get some 1.5" springs from pro-comp then get in touch with dave jones @ http://www.bits4vits.co.uk he can sort other bits for you

You could save yourself the hassle of the body lift by cutting away your wheel arches, but it ain't for the faint hearted. I suppose it all depends what size tyres you'll be using (& how much rust you want to get rid of). A friend of mine has 31"s with a suspension lift & no body lift. There is a v small amount of fouling when full lock is applied, but the offset on his rims is not exactly large.
