I was curious if anyone was running a ZONE lift on their jeep and if so what they think of it?

 

From what I know they are part of BDS. Made in Michigan. I have heard good things but don't personally own one of their kits. I am considering using them when I go to a suspension lift, though.

 

I was looking at their 3" lift for my 2dr, from what I can tell is a pretty complete kit.

 

No front trackbar relo, and no caster correction. (they will sell you cams, but do a search to get the pro's/con's before you get them...)

Browse these sections of the FAQ's when you get a chance.

Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?
Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift? (pay attention to the driveshaft cautions!!)

 

nthinuf, so do you think the tf 2.5 coil kit is a better route?

 

i know a guy with a zone 4in lift and he likes it alot.. i have a TF 2.5 and do like it but it is important to get adj control arms for either one of the routes u go to correct caster. for the 2.5in u wont need all 8 arms which is a plus. but i think zone has good pricing for what u get esp. for the 3-5 in lifts when compared to other brands that are more pricier...

 

So even with a 2.5 or 3" lift you think its a good idea to get control arms?

 

TF coils are tall. You're looking at over 3" on a 4door, closer to 4" on your 2door.

As I have not owned either lift, I can't actually comment on them. But I have become a believer in comparing components and deciding which you:
-Need
-Want, but can wait and add later
-Can live without

For me, caster correction on a 3+" lift is a need. (opinions vary on this).
Re-centering the front axle can wait. (as long as it isn't setting off ESP or causing one tire to rub or taking the driveshaft to close to the tranny)
Driveshafts. Nobody can say if/when they will fail, so start budgeting for them just in case. (you will also want a set of adj control arms to go with each driveshaft)

 

ya control arms are a good idea just so ur truck runs like stock.. without u can do, but the ride isnt tooo great.. i just went through all this also and the 2.5 with 4 flex arms is the way i went. but wish i would of got the 3in lift...

 

Thanks for the info!
