I do not think it has anything to do with the zone lift quality. I would look into TB problems, ball joint failure, lower control arms, etc. Going 4" requires a few other modifications to make the Jeep drive like stock again. I would not just scrap you lift without doing some research. But hey, if you really are going to get another lift shoot me a PM cause I might take your zone coils if the price is right.

I agree with these fellas. Most budget lifts are the same. Coils, shocks, and track bar.
I would start with the Track Bar mounting holes and see if the bushings are wallowed out on your front TB. If they are, get a new track bar and the Northridge bolt kit for 9/16.
2nd thing I recommend is to check the play in your balljoints. I would say from my time on this forum that 8 or 9 out of 10 people with death wobble turns out to be one of those two things.

Drag link Flip kit and ADJ track bar for sure!
I just installed my TF 4 in lift with all 8 controll arms. This past Friday (not sugesting you change to this, simply my experence!)
My results were flawless and couldnt be happier. Im sure the Zone lift will work just fine in the long run.

I understand your frustration but I think you'd be better off stepping back for a second do some research and then try to diagnose the problem. It could be a simple fix which would save you more than a few bucks unless your dead set on spending at least a $1000. If your dead set on a new lift I'd look at Teraflex, I've got their 3in full flex arm lift and I love it, plus their customer service is top notch as well as their youtube how to videos.

Thanks everyone, I like to go off road and do so quite often. My only problem is lack of experience on the mechanical side... I'm by no means a mall crawler, I just don't know enough to figure these things out on my own... Good thing I've got y'all! Ha ha
