i got the rc 6.5 and works great only thing that is better about re is it comes with break line extensions the rc just gives brackets to move your stock break lines which i dont like so im just going to get bigger lines

 

Hmm....

Doesnt sound like we have any hard core RE fans on here . I was always under the impression that they were the standard when it came to Jeep lifts?

I've had Rustys before (4.5" w/ spring pack and adj track bar for $300) and it was fine, never had any issues. I would still consider but there shipping is rediculous.

It would be nice to find some additional info on the Zone kits. I dont mind trying something new, but am a little skepticle....

 

Im in the similar boat as you, I plan on lifting around the same height. I plan on going with the RE 3.5 lift kits with full packs.

 

Myself and two other guys here at work all have the RC 4.5 lift. I bought mine direct from them, I got lucky and caught an end of the year sale. All three have been trouble free. I was really impressed by the kit and the lift went on with no trouble. No running back and forth to the parts store, everything was in there.

 

how much is shipping on a rustys lift?

 

How is shipping from Rough Country?

 

Shipping is reasonable..for the weight...and fast. Their customer service is top notch!

 

I'm in Indiana and it was about 60 bucks. Fast too. I think I got everything in like 3 days.

 

Wow that's not bad at all considering it probably came freight i'm assuming which is never cheap.

 

Depends. I checked on the 3" AAL kit and it was $80. I thought I would save some $$ and get some shocks locally but the shipping was still $78 for coils and AAL. Rediculous.

So total kit would have cost $345 w/ shipping.

I am not knocing the RC stuff as I have never ran it. I just havent really heard anything positive from any of the local shops that I have talked to. They dont say anything good about Rustys either. Only RE...

One guy did kinda recommend Zone Offroad in his own way. He said for the money it was okay. Recommended over all the other lower cost lift.

So, it looks like Zone Offroad is the way I will go. $290 for a lift including shocks and shipping aint bad. http://zoneoffroad.com/product?ki=34&vi=959

Someones got to give the new kid a shot, huh....

After researching more about RE, it looks like their lifts give too much lift (3.5 gives 4"'s plus). I did like the fact that their kit comes w/ LCA's and a few other goodies, but at that height I think the track bar and other components would need addressed.

Hopefully I dont regret it.......

 

It's all good...let us know how you like the ZO lift.

 

right now im also thinking about the zone kit, if you get it let us know how it does

 

Is it true that they offer free UPS ground shipping at zone? I tried typing in my zip code for that life and the shipping for ups ground came back as 0.

 

from what ive read they are offering free shipping for now on the standard ups.

 

Well, I ordered the kit and should be here next week. Yes, there is currently free shipping right now so the 3" kit to my door is $290. Not bad for a basic kit. Customer Service was good, I bugged one of the reps for an additional 10 mins asking all sorts of questions about there product and he was friendly the entire time.

I confirmed that there is no affiliation between rough country and zone offroad (read that somewhere else) as they are direct competitors. Zone Offroad is part of Truckmasters Distributing (BDS Suspension, Zone Offroad and 4x4 Posilock)

I will follow up when everything is installed (Kit will not arrive until after my weekend is over so wont be until the week after next).
