Is this a good lift?

    3" lift. Strut spacers in front and blocks for the axle. The most "off roading" I do is farm roads that are manageable for a lowered Corolla, so I dont need something that is bombproof. Oh, and I'm on a real tight budget. Thanks, Bill

    Its not an optimum choice but for your needs I think it will be ok if you dont mind a bit stiffer ride and some axle wrap.

    Most people on here run Bilstein 5100's and love them. A lot of people stay away from blocks and spacers because they make for a harsh ride, but idk that from experience.
    For about a 100 more than what you posted you could get them. Or message Downsouthmotorsports and they'll help you.

    Why would the ride be stiffer? Since I'm not doing any off roading or heavy towing, shouldn't axle wrap be a non issue?
