Default 3" OME Lift

Let me introduce myself, I have an 04 disco and want to go with a 3" lift. I've been lurking around this forum and DiscoWeb for awhile and i am deciding to go with OME lift over RTM. I plan on getting:

-751's in front
-763's in rear
-N107's in front
-N108's in rear
-OME steering Damper
-BFG 265/75 R16

Reading a post at DiscoWeb about the RTE 3" kit someone said-

1) Front double cardan driveshaft
2) Rear U-jointed Driveshaft
3) Extended castor corrected front radius arms
4) Rear extended trailing links
5) Extended brake lines, front and rear
Now do i need to add the DC driveshaft, rear u-jointed DC, radius arms, trailing links, etc? or does this only apply to the RTE lift?

thanks,
steve

for the most part you do not need to do any of the extras for the OME 3" ... the RTE 3" sits higher than the OME and a lot of people have been successful with the OME 3" and no additional mods.

True!! But is a good idea to do it all........ You don't "HAVE TO" but it makes for a smoother running rig!

I have that lift. 3" OME on my 99 D2 running 265's, never had to make any corrections for the lift. Any tall and you will though.
