    Every "3 in." lift kit I've seen states you can get 3" of lift in the front and then gives rear options like 1.5" or 2" AAL. Am I right in saying the 3 inch lift means it's referring to front? Help a newbie out. Thanks.

    ya thats generally right. 3" lift in front and 1.5-2" in the rear will make it about level. that would be called a 3" lift
