Default Zone 3" lift questions

Hey is anyone running the zone 3 inch lift? I'd love some feedback. opinions etc...

I was wondering if i would need a driveshaft or other accommodations in order to run it smoothly. I have a 2 door automatic 2008

thanks

I ran it years ago. its just a basic low end kit. Your driveshaft will be fine in my opinion. I ran the stocker for prolly 10k before swapping. Personally id get a different kit. but it all depends what you plan to do.

I'm running the 3" with stock drive shafts front and rear. I did tear the boot on the front but it hasn't caused me any problems in 3 years. It's a basic lift but gets the job done and the ride is pretty good. For the money you will like it. I have a 08 2 door auto as well.

That's with stock fenders and 35's



Poison spyder fenders with a 1 1/4" body lift on 37's

Lots of added weight. Fenders front and rear, full river raider corners, heavy bumpers front and rear.

I've got the zone 3" on my 4 door rubi and I've got no complaints after running it for about a year and a half. 3" kit actually got me about 4.24" of lift in the front and 4" in the back. That's with bumpers and tire carrier. A lot of guys are using this kit locally and I don't hear any complaints form them either.

I do have a friend running the 4" zone kit on 35's. I have a picture of it in front of my jk with stock lift on 37's. He's not pulling much height on me. His is the white on the left, mine the silver on the right. This was before he added his aftermarket steel bumper too.

Not a 3" but I would have expect more height from a 4". It does look good on his white Jeep though.
