Zone Offroad 3" Lift Kit
I just wanted to let everybody know that after a long debate and research I am going to try the Zone Offroad 3" lift kit on my 4dr JK. Does not look like it has been really tried and tested but I am willing to give it a shot. This will include the steering stabilizer and front control arm cam locks. Once installed, I have a set of Pro Comp 8179's, 15x10 wrapped in 35x12.5 Procomp Xtreme Mud Terrains. Will post some before and after pics as well as install pics once it is complete. Hopefully this weekend or next if my orders are not delayed by the recent bad weather and I don't lose any more trees. I'll keep you posted and I would love to hear any possible issuees that I may encounter (ESP) or food for thought by any of you old-timers or Jeep tech guys out there.

Zone Lift
I got the 2 in Zone lift on now-and the 3 inch on the way. I have a friend who owns a truck shop, and he told me that Zone is owned by the same company as BDS, and when I called Zone last week-he confirmed it. That put my mind at ease knowing that at least there is some background to this company. I am running 33 13.5 18 mtz's now and that is what I will continue to run. Let me know how your install goes.

Congrats...Post pics when you can...
Here's a link to another member who had installed that exact same lift you are getting...

You can probably PM that member to see how the lift has been coming along. Just my opinion & others may chime in & give you some pros or cons, but you should invest in an adjustable front lower or upper control arms rather then using those cam bolts..."The OE lower control mounts are perforated from the factory. The perforated sections must be removed to accept the new cam bolts supplied in the kit." Some say those cam bolts have a tendency to work themselves loose and if you were to later upgrade your control arms, you would have to find a way to fill the hole that has been widen...

Everything came in. Zone Offroad shipped it out Monday and I got it Tuesday. Super fast shipping. The kit looks great and heavy duty. Rims and Tires came in from 4 Wheel Parts on Thuirsday. They look mean. The only problem is I live in south west Ohio and I just got power up last week end from hurrican IKE's leftovers. With that said, all is a go to do the lift this Friday and i will let you know. I will post thew pics this weekend and let you know how it goes.

Just get the adjustable arms and call it a day. Besides most aftermarket arms will stand-up to a lot more abuse than the stock stamped arms.
