Default fwd lift kit??

right now ive got 22's on 245/30/22 tires.... and ive got the lifters in my springs which gives me about 1-2 inches but im tryna go higher so i can do a thicker tire on the 2's 265 maybe or i might do 24's this next summer..

BUT i dont like the fact that the strut plates were rubbing in the back when i first put the rims on and we ended up beating the strut plate upwards to fix that.. not that it rides any different or is giving me any problems but i like to do things the right way

anybody have any experience or knowledge with this kit? is it worth it? a local shop is tryin to sell it to me for about $850 they say its a 3" lift with custom front and rear struts

ill appreciate any feedback

I thought about getting those before I had mine made it takes the guess work outta it.All you do is take factory struts out and put those in.But question for you is it just the struts in the kit or does it come with anything else cause with a 3 inch kit unless you add a slip yoke to your drive shaft your going to bind alot probably to the point you won't be able to drive your car or what I did was heat up the spring to compress them down at bit so my car wouldn't be so high but I still had the clearance I needed between the wheel and spring purch
