What all comes with your 4" lift and what extra would I need to buy for a 99 WJ. I currently have 33x12.50s on a stock suspension. I know.... You would normally say that you can stuff those under a WJ, but we have done extensive cutting and re-fabricating. You are welcome to check my thread to see what I mean. When I buy a kit, I want to just get everything I need at one time and not have the whole, "Well you gotta do this or that". LOL! I don't really want to go crazy high either. just a little space for flex.
Features
* Four new Zone coils are included that are capable of being fully smashed down and they will always come back to their original height.
* Rear extended sway bar links are included. These links come with urethane bushings to increase performance and reduce body roll.
* A front adjustable track bar is included to properly center the front axle.
* A rear upper tri-link spacer is included
* A minimal transfer case drop is supplied to correct the driveline angle while maintaining as much ground clearance as possible.
* 2" bump stop extensions are included to protect your vehicle while still greatly increasing wheel travel
* New massive front lower control arms are included. These arms are made from 1-3/4" x 1/4" wall DOM tubing and feature fluted greasable urethane bushings.
* The system is completed with 4 new Zone shocks that are specifically valved for your WJ to perform well both on and off road.
Notes
* Vehicles equipped with V8 may not achieve stated lift height.
* AWD models may require front drive line modification.
* Some vehicles may experience front wheel shimmy that is attributable to the OE design. Specific tire and wheel combinations may induce steering shimmy. In most cases, alignment and/or tire and wheel changes will correct this problem. Zone Offroad assumes no incurred expenses associated with the correction of this problem.

The issue is they don't piece the kits together. They come in boxed sets and they won't break them up. Also, you would have to purchase the shocks seperately after you have the suspension done and at ride height to measure the compressed and extended legnth for the rear shocks. This will cost more for shipping shocks by themselves.
Let me know!
Namaste,

Allen,
Can you quote total pricing including shipping to 90301? Looking at the following kit:
2" XJ Suspension System w/ the upgraded Nitro shocks for the 8.25" rear end. My XJ is 2WD if that makes any difference.
item # J4/J5
My rear shocks just blew out. May as well lift her!!!
Thanks,

Allen..I bought a 4.5 in zone lift. It says that I can run 32's with a 4.5 backspacing ....if I wanted to run 33's how much backspacing should I have on my rim ...I have already trimed my fender flares????

Your best bet is to go to a custom tire store that has a wheel measuring setup. They can determine specifically what 33" tire will fit on your rig with the rim you have or one you are interested in.
When you find the results you are looking for, post them up here for all to benefit from.
Have a great evening!
Allen
Edit: I would think that if you wwent with a 4" backspacing, a little more spacer on the bump stop and a smidge of a steering stop adjustment you would be fine. Too much of all of them will reduce performance anad turning radius.
