The only coil lift you're going to get for that price is a Rough Country, which I wouldn't recommend. Specially if this is going to be your DD.

With that limited amount of bank you're going to be stuck with doing a BB (spacers). Why don't you want to run spacers?

Teraflex makes a very nice BB kit right in the middle of your price range and includes everything you need. Tera Flex JK Wrangle 2.5 inch Performance Budget Boost W/Shocks (1255200)

I always forget about Zone being out there. I don't know much about Zone as I have never ran it but from my understanding, they are made by BDS but don't have the lifetime warranty like BDS.

Take a look at this thread https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...-lifts-288269/ it's something everyone needs to read when wanting to lift their rig.

The zone kit sucks.
Why are you lifting?

I personally know of several people that have been running zone lifts on JKs. Daily drivers, occasional offroad. One is the shop vehicle at the local offroad shop.

I've asked about issues, and all have said they have had zero problems. I specifically asked about sagging.

I do not run Zone, but if I was looking for a budget system for a road warrior rig, I would run it.

Of course my local shop deals with them anf provides support and backs up products.

Another option would be to cut your fender flares and pinch seams. It's free and saves that $500-$600 for the bigger shoes you're wanting.
