Im getting ready to lift my xj. ive had my heart set on rusty's 4.5" spring pack. Someone told me about Zone 4.5" add a leaf. there is about $300 difference. I have a 2000 xj..... what do you guys think?

 

I had a zone kit on my old 5.9 Grand,it was a good riding good flexing kit.for the money You can't beat it.My Grand was coil all around though. If it were me I would want the full leaf pack.

 

zone is a branch of BDS from what I've been told, good parts, going with one of their kits for my gfs XJ when we get around to lifting it

 

they dont have a full pack xj kit, as far as I know. of course, they claim their aal's hold up over time. if anyone can attest to that, please speak up.

 

My big issue with both rustys and rough country is that their full spring packs run short. giving you really bad shackle angles.

if your leaf pack is in good shape a full length aal will work just fine

 

Never heard of them but they sound interesting. AAL is good if your springs are in great shape only.

 

I thought there was a post on here a long time ago about how this company repaints used lift parts and re sells them. I could be getting them confused but it is worth looking into. As for AAL's if you have new leafs they will last for a wile but if your leafs are used you will only get 3-6 months. Just my experiences. As for RC leafs being short not quite sure what you mean but have never had an problem with them. RC older basic shocks didn't give a good ride but have come a long way.
