If you put one together yourself you could do a decent kit for under $400. Hell I got my 6.5" coils, upper & lower CA's, & 5" rear leafs for $250. Which leaves me more loot for other stuff.

Go with the full leaf packs instead of the AAL as the tend to sag easier and sooner, you will not regret it. Also the as nice as the warn bumpers are they are huge, heavy and overly expensive. If I did it again I would have gone with a lighter bumper combo and one that covered the rear quater panel area.

Sry to jack the thread here but the ZOne 3 in doesn't come with lowers CA's but the Rc does.Go with the RC more for your money. I was going to get the Zone but RC just feels better.

You will need shocks, a transfer case drop (you can make this) or an SYE and driveshaft(which you probably won't need). You should also relocate your front brakelines.

That takes care of the shocks, and is cheaper.

I would expect that you will need a TC drop, but every jeep is different. It should be very basic to make/fab the drop.
