so a set of these is all i need to achieve a 3 inch lift (well of course torquing the torsion bars)

It has the answers you seek, for an OME coil spring lift...

If you want 3 inches add spacers to coils.

well Jo which springs would you pick if youre going with a budget lift. 912 or 913? I know this is probably obvious but I want the blessing from the VX gods...
im also running on 275/65R/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. And they take up the whole wheel well compared to the wheels on the picture above.
im guessing 913 cause i would like it lifted and more level.
If you are running 275/65R/18, which are approx 32 inch tires...
..you need to decide how much you want to lift.
Thats a personal / aesthetic taste deal.
You have to decide if its for 'looks'... or maximizing Off Road clearance.
Below shows what 912's & 913's will give you.
Lift with OME 913's with NO SPACERS = 1 3/4 in. lift
Lift with OME 912's with NO SPACERS = 2 1/2 in. lift
So, figure ot how high you want to go and buy the appropriate OME springs.
If, after doing lift, you decide you want a bit more.. pop in 1 inch spacers.

This isnt really a "budget" lift.. its just the best way to do it.
And the bonus is the info and help here saves you MANY HUNDREDS.....
..cause you dont get reamed by Calmini, or your mechanic for huge time.
jo
either way the front will only go so high.
Well sure...
BUT...the front will go PLENTY high enough for the tires you specified.
Many , including me, run 35's...and a couple run even bigger...
........ and crank the front way higher than you'll require.
With 32's you'll be well within the tolerance of the T/bar crank.
jo
well ladies and gents. I just placed the order for the 913's. went UPS ground on shipping. with a total after shipping at $218.57
so at a later time will I be able to make the jump for 275/65R/18 to 285's?
Yup...
As explained... many already do / have.
BUT... once you get past 33's... the diff drop is recommended
jo
i wouldn't go any bigger then the 285's as I plan to keep the factory rims... oh btw I picked up a full set of 4 rims off a 2000 Astral Silver car yesterday out of Killeen Texas for with decent tread on the tires for $175 total. god bless craigslist
Hey Xora, you are responding to a thread that's 8 years old. They probably got it taken care of by now.
