Every Jeep is slightly different, but with only 3 inches of lift on an unlimited, you should be fine. I ran a 3.5 Rubicon Express super flex and netted close to 4 inches. Never even touched the drive shaft.
As far as control arms, I think the consensus is that Rokmen, Currie, and JKS probably are some of the best. I personally plan on running rokmen, no real rhyme or reason, just wanna try 'em.
As far as long arm (LA) or short arm (SA). LA's should be welded and the arms are longer therefore are farther towards down the frame. Most say if you run 4 or more inches, a LA is the ticket, but honestly, SA's are so much better than they were 10 years ago and the days of 6-8 inch lifts are gone, so a SA is really more than adequate for most applications and those are bolt are "replacements" of the stock CA's.
Mechanic's/tire guys/shops are all gonna have an opinion on your Jeep...most aren't Jeep enthusiasts/experts. Take everything, including what I just said with a grain of salt.
