Default 2", not 3"

Correct price but wrong height. We were talking about the +3" kit. 33" tires will not fit as comfortable as I'd like with only 2".

If you don't have any bumpers or sliders those are 3" springs, they're the same springs Lucky8 sells in their 3" TF kit.

Lucky8.com will set you up quickly with a 3 inch terrafirma lift. I have the 3 inch terrafirma lift on 33x11s had to do some minor trimming to the front.

Default With extra weight?

Does that include the fact that I have solid steel front and back bumpers going on, sliders, larger roof rack, front and back winch and so on?

Nope, you'll need the RTE kit or spacers as well

I have a 2000 D2 with RT (?) 3" HD lift and run 31x10.5 AT's with no rubbing even with my roof rack and a, well, rover-load of random recovery gear, fishing gear, wet puppy, etc.
I'm wanting to put some 33" or 31x10.5 MT's on but am gonna wait to see how much clearance is left after we finish the build on the rock rails/steel bumpers/winch weight addition. Good to Very good articulation (it aint a rock-crawler, purpose-built, jeep wrangler we are talking about here) and I since I know new bumpers are forthcoming, I am not worried about losing some plastic front and rear bumper pieces due to crappy approach and departure angles. I drive my rover off road (almost) daily as I am involved with a trap line and doing some light security drive-thrus for rural property real estate companies. I might not need low range but once a week but my rover gets off road and off trail almost daily and Im quite happy with my 3" HD lift kit. Hope it helps

So, for a 3" lift all I'll need is the correct shocks and springs?
No need for pan hard, watts linkage, brake lines or front corrected camber radius arms?

correct.... consensus is that 3" is the cut off. beyond that you start to stretch lines and pull in and all that jazz.
