i need some opinions on which kit would be best for my 4door sahara, i will be running 33x11 tires and i want plenty of lift height but not a BB either. opinions from users of these kits would be great!

 

From what I was told....The RC is a more complete kit

 

I haven't seen any actual height numbers for these, but if they are similar to other 3" lifts, you'll have plenty of room for 35's. Since you are going with a narrow 33 and will not be disconnecting, you'll have plenty of wheel well space and no worry of rubbing the fenders...

Very similar kits.

-Both have brake line relo brackets
-Both have rear links and move the stock rears up front
-Both have a rear trackbar bracket
-Zone has longer coils - RC has shorter coils with spacers on top *
-Zone has ext. bumpstops - RC has integrated stops on the shocks (helps with downtravel, but may not keep the tires off the fenders?)

Neither have front trackbar relo's *
Neither has any way to adjust Caster **

RC is $60 less.

With either kit, you might want to also look into the front relo and a set of adj CA's.

 

have you considered the teraflex 3 inch kit?

 

One more note.
If you are planning on staying with 33's, and have no desire to move up to 35's, you just might want to consider one of the 2.5" coils kits, or even a levelling kit, instead. Three inch kits will typically get you up over 4 inches in 'actual' lift, and you will start running into more issues with caster, the need for replacement driveshafts, etc...

 

I like this kit. My son and I installed it in roughly 5 1/2 hours (including lunch break etc.) Thus far I've had no problems with it. You can look at RC's site & see what comes with the kit..It's pretty complete! There are more pics in my profile if ya want to see other view points.

 

don't have any experience with the rc lifts.....but i DO have the zone 3" on my 2 door...here's my thoughts on this kit:
i absolutely LOVE the ride quality in the shocks and coils..much smoother ride than the teraflex 2.5" coil lift. but in hindsight, there's a bit of a drawback with the softer ride. with the coils "giving" a bit more they settled right above 2.5" but not quite 2.75".....so they advertise this kit at 3" and you do get a bit less after about a month or so of it being installed...i say this because some kits that are sold as 3" give you more like 4+ inches of lift..but this kit has been nothing but great to me!! at the time i couldn't afford anything any more expensive than $500 and low and behold i found this one for that price range...i'm eventually gonna get all the adj. track bars,adj. control arms, yadayada....but i've been running this kit for over a year now as is just like it is advertised and have wheeled it at least 6 times on pretty technical stuff and brought it to full droop and it gets an A++ in my book.....if i were to do it all over again, i would definately hands down without a doubt go TERAFLEX 3" ....but not everyone has that kind of money up front or just don't have the patience to save....ultimately with most things YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, but the ZONE 3" kit for the price delivers great quality and i'm completely satisfied..(once you get any lift,you can always build off of it and upgrade coils later on down the line)

 

here's mine next to a 4WHLN"s which has got a teraflex 2.5" coil on......mine's on the left


with chopped fenders and 35's



and some on the trails
