Default Zone offroad 3 in lift

Hey guys just installed a zone offroad 3 in lift this past weekend. I will get some pics posted by this weekend. Ride is great just a little bit stiffer than stock. Flexes great!! I have a buddy with the black diamond 3 in lift and it is just a shade shorter than it. I will get some actual measurments this weekend after wheelin. Now I just need some tires to go on my black steelies and I will be set. just trying to decide on 33's or 35's, I have a 2 door x with 3.21 gears, so I know the 35's will be bad for a while but I plan on regearing in the spring.

Nice...Post pics when you can would love to see it....A 3" lift would look great with 34s or 35's and fill the wheel well nicely...I am assuming that with your 3.21s you probably have a standard transmission. With the 6-speed it could be bearable until you finally regear to 4.88 or 5.13s...Save your $$$ and go for the 34's or 35's instead of the 33s so you wont have any regrets later & wish you would have gone BIGGER...

I probably will go for the 35's instead of wishing that I had later, I will get some pics of it this weekend. I do not think that you can beat the lift for the money. WIll a 35 spare fit on the stock mount or will I need to mount it to my rack for now until I can get a bumper and tire carrier??

i've seen this kit on eBay. the price is great, but what is the quality like on the
components? care to comment? i had a 2.5" RC lift but returned it cuz:

1) too scared to install because of posts with bad components
2) pregnant wife wouldn't be able to get in / out easily and she kaibashed
the idea! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!

I think that the quality is great. I had it in the mountains today with no trouble, tires are a limiting factor for me right now. I had the 2.5 RC spacer kit and this lift is def taller, so it would not help with the wife. I could not find any info on this kit before I purchased the lift but went ahead and bit the bullet and tried it and I must say for the money I love it and am having no troubles what so ever.
I am going to get of disconnects for the front as this lift did not include any.

I will get some pics up this weekend when I get a little free time.

Post the pics when you can would luv to see the lift/stance on the Jeep...Is this the kit you purchased. Did you use the trac relo bracket? If so does it mount to the frame or axle...Thanks...

Congrats on the lift! I have seen this kit in the back of some of the major magazines. I was curious about it too, but couldn't find any info about it. The add listed a website, but when I tried it...........nothin. It looks like a great kit though, keep us up on any issues and come on with the pics!
