Price: $530.00 Pros: Easy to install, came with everything needed to run fine. Cons: Zirk fitting broke but its something I can go get. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I have it on 33s with stock 3.07 ratio and it runs fine for what I can deal with right now, I looked at a lot of reviwed for months and I found that this lift did not have many bad reviews for a cheaper lift, so I went ahead and got it, and it hasnt failed me yet, abtou 200 miles on it so far top speed I have gone is about 65-70 with no vibrations.

Price: $550.00 Pros: Price, manufactured by same company as BDS Cons: None that I can think of Recommended? Yes
Comments: Ride quality on road is great, no squeeking or any BS after 2 years. Fits 33's no problem and leaves room for good flex offroad. Also purchased the steering stabilizer and upgraded the shocks

Price: $525.00 Pros: Nice straight forward entry-level kit Cons: None Recommended? Yes
Comments: This is a stepping-stone kit for me until I am ready to replace the axles with Dana 60's and 40" tires. With that in mind and knowing this would be temporary solution I ordered up the Zone 4" kit which easily allowed room for a 33" tire and could probably fit a 35" tire as well. For the price and performance (trail tested on Barrett Lake Jeep trail and the Rubicon) it's hard to beat.

Price: $1,600.00 Pros: High Quality, Easy Install, cost for quality. Cons: I have to torque the lower control arms often or I get axle roll when accelerating. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I bought the lift in a package with a full set of 5 wheels and tires. I have been a mechanic for 20 years now and am very impressed with the quality of this kit. My buddy and I were able to install it in about 4-5 hrs. in a well equipped shop. The ride is stiff but that is what is expected with new springs and bushings and who wants a soft boat ride in a lifted Jeep? I built quick disconnects for the front sway bar and it made a world of difference offroad. My Jeep will seriously articulate now. 33 inch Micky Thompson MTZ's tuck up perfectly with out rubbing. After a year My front fender has 6.25 inches between it and the tire and the rear has 7.5 inches. I have a winch installed on the front bumper that adds to the difference of heights. I read mention of the shocks rusting and suggest buying a good quality spray paint that matches your Jeep color. I painted mine with copper hammer tone paint before installing them and they still look great even with all the salt Utah puts on the roads in the winter. Overall an incredible lift for the price. Zone has put together a great product. Just install quick disconnects for the articulation.

Price: $529.00 Pros: Great Lift for the Price, ride seems very good much better then stock Cons: None Yet Recommended? Yes
Comments: This was my 1st lift kit, so it was a great learning experience for me.
It took longer then expected time to install, but that was okay, I wanted to
make sure it was done right.
I thought the Instructions were ok, but seemed somewhat vague at times to
me. Im sure once a person has done one lift on there own, the next one will
be much faster.
I was impressed with the quality of the parts for the price compared to the
other lift kits out there.
I did alot of research on the forums and Internet, went with Zones 4" lift
the reviews were very high, especially for the price.
I am very happy with the ride so far after about a month.

Price: $500.00 Pros: Appears to be well built and came with good instructions. Cons: n/a Recommended? Yes
Comments: I'm installing the 4" kit on my '04 this coming weekend and will follow up to let you know how it turns out and what it performs like.
Just curious for anyone who has installed this kit. I know the kit doesn't come with a dropped pitman arm and the manufacturer told me that it's not required or recommended due to possible steering bump. I was curious if you ever considered using a dropped pitman arm or not and how the steering geometry is working out without one?
Thanks!

Price: $500.00 Pros: Great price, includes lower control arms, build quality appears to be very high, ride quality is good.
Cons: None so far. Recommended? Yes
Comments: Great price on a very complete kit - only things I might add in the future are an adjustable front trackbar and a new drive shaft. Everything seems to be very high quality, beefy lower control arms are a nice inclusion in the kit for the price, installation very straightforward. Ride quality is great - a little stiff but still settling, and I'd already say it's an improvement over the stock Rubicon shocks & springs. Installing the kit eliminated the speed wobble that I'd been facing for the last year or so. The extra clearance, flex, and room for 33" tires has definitely improved my offroad capability. Aesthetically, the new stance with the lift and tires looks great. Zone Offroad seems to have great customer service as well, they've been very prompt in responding to my emails. I'm very happy with this kit so far - it's fun on & offroad and I've gotten a lot of comments on the new ride!
No cons so far - I still need to put a lot more miles on the kit to know how durable it is, but the build quality seems great, everything looks sturdy, so I'm not too worried about it. Giving it an excellent for now because of how satisfied I am with the kit price, contents, and build quality, the only thing that would lower this in the future would be a lower durability than expected.
Approx. 500 miles on the kit at the time of this review, maybe 25 hrs offroad use. Will update on durability in a year or so.

Price: $529.00 Pros: Price, fast shipping, excellent customer service, very well designed and well built. Cons: STIFF springs and shocks. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I bought my kit from 4X4Groupbuy.com for $529 shipped. They were very prompt and appreciative. I called Zone directly with a question and they were responsive and helpful.
My first impression of the kit was WEIGHT! The tubular control arms are super heavy and greasable. The kit doesn't include a adjustable track bars but when installed properly it centers up perfectly and handles excellent without them. It went on pretty easy but took longer than I expected. Enlarging the rear upper track mounts to set the rear pinion angle was the only real PITA in the installation.
I ended up with at least 4.5 inches of lift from the 4 inch kit. After aligning the front end to 1/8 toe in, the kit has great manners on the road. The springs are much stiffer than stock and you will feel every bump in the road unless you cut some air out of your tires. The stiff ride makes the kit disappointingly harsher than stock on gravel roads but those same stiff springs make your tall jeep handle every bit as well as a stock jeep in the corners. Im incredibly impressed with its handling on the road.
Id recommend a SYE. The transfer case drop went in easy enough and I did not need to install the transfer case shift linkage relocation bracket. However i did get shifter interference which made 2nd and reverse difficult to engage. I removed the neoprene sleeve between the two shifter boots and relocated the lower boot and console back 1/2 inch which cured that problem. I do have some very minor driveline vibe at low rpm in tall gears but youd probably never notice it unless you were looking for it.
Ive put about 500 miles on it in a couple weeks with zero problems. Ive only wheeled briefly since then and with the sway bars hooked up so, i cant really speak to articulation.
I think its a great kit for the money, especially if you spend more time on road, than off.
