Has anyone used any of Zone Offroad lift kits for their JK?
Curious about performance and reliability

 

I understand that they are rebranded BDS lifts with out the warranty.

 

Yeah I'm curious too... Seen a lot of their kits and build comps on ebay- haven't seen or heard anything about the brand.

 

as mentioned, they are just the chinese division of bds. is there a reason why you're compelled to give them a look over another brand?

 

I was sold a 3" BDS when I first purchased my JK. I'm not sure if it was the quality of the parts or my lack of experience but I never could get the ride quality I was looking for. Needless to say, after only approx 2500 miles I switched over to the Evo Enforcer with the 2.5" King reservoir shocks and I absolutely love it. It just feels a lot more solid and gives me the ride quality that I was originally hoping for. I guess to make a long story short, don't go cheap. Purchase a good quality kit the first time and you will actually end up saving money in the long run.

 

I have their budget boost and love it, no complaints

 

I run Zone. Did it because of the price. I have the 3" for the 4 door. I opted for the nitro shocks.

I've been very happy with it. I opted for the nitro shocks. 15k miles and 9 months and very happy.

I Offroad a lot and the setup does great.

I can't compare the handling to other Jeeps or to when I was stock because I changed too much.

I ran 35" claws in 17" rims with 4.5 backs pacing. Great setup. No issues. Ran it with bushwacker flares so maybe that's why I had not clearance issues.

When I banged up my stock stabilizer I ordered a zone. Again due to price. It works great for now.

This is my DD and to me it's a truck. It doesn't handle like my 335 but I don't drive it like my 335. With the tires it was bumpy and rough with potholes. But again I think of it as a truck. I don't speed and it did well on highway curves etc.

So to me if you want to o 35s that measure out to 33.5-34 which is where my claws probably were I would go with zone if you don't want to spend much.

A lot of people spend a lot of money on great systems. I can't compare cuz I've never driven one. For my style and needs zone works.

I recently went to 37s toyos and I had to put in one inch spacers (teraflex). I had I trim more and adjust my bump stops.

So far so good now that I addressed the track bars and spacers. I run a rough country bumper,and a recon winch and a bestop rear bumper and tire carrier. So far no sag but it is still young. If I need new shocks I can order those separate and if I need new springs they are very cost effective kits but like I said everything is holding up.

I do trails, rock crawling etc. Try to get out there at least twice per month.

Hope that helps. Just research for hours before you buy.

This forum has a ton of great info!

 

I rock their 2" BB with their shocks.

I can't really complain. the kits been good to me.

it's my DD and I do take it on trails. mostly 3's on a scale on 1 to 5 black diamonds.
so I'm not afraid to see what the Jeep will do.
the kit has remained solid.

 

I got the zone 4 inch kit on a 2007 4 door and it's fantastic I have never had any problems and have flexed as much and gone as far as teraflex systems and everyone else ... When I bought mine it was springs trac bar and some other small things... I'll post some flexed out pictures when I get home
