didn't try and sell me a bunch of stuff I don't need. I also ordered a front track bar and cam locks
Not to try to talk anyone into anything that they don't need, but you might do a quick search on Cam Bolts for some opinions and pro's/con's before you install...

Default Almost a year on my Zone

I have had my zone for almost a year and Love It! I Offroad about once a month and get incredible flex out of it. I did do cam bolts. I had the alignment shop put them on right after I put the lift on in my garage. I also added a RR body lift because my flex was greater than my fenders could handle, I have 35" Ntto MGs

When I first got it, our jeep club went out to a trail in Iowa. The trail had realy awesome "off camber" trails. One "V" trail most of the XJs and TJs were exiting with one front wheel about 2' off the ground. My JK had all four down every time.

I just did the Zone 3 inch last week ,install was a breeze ,ride is much better than stock and I am willing to bet all the parts are BDS
I also added a Teraflex 1 inch spacer in front to compensate for the bumper and winch and Zones adjustable track bar and front links
Did not do cam bolts , went with Skyjacker Flex adjustable front lower control arms

Question

Have you had any driveshaft issues? I would like to go with a 3" lift, but i've read that unlimited's front driveshaft is under stress when off road?
thanks
