I voteon any lift with a rear AAL. Spend a few dollars and get a RC 3" kit with coils and full rear leaf springs. It's a great deal and you get a quality product.

dude this is just me talkin but i really dont think that kit is wortha becuse it doesnt come with the lower control arms which keep your axel from scooting back, it doesnt come with track bar relocation bracket which is a must because you wanna to keep your trac bar at a nice strecth. and it doest even come with sway bar add a links or legthaners.

I have '94 XJ 2wd, will all that really matter if I'm only doing a 3" lift?

GARBAGE! first off add a leaf kits are just garbage. second, if you are looking for a cheap kit but a decent one, go Rough Country. and if you want a cheap on and decide to go with a garbage AAL setup then i would still go Rough Country.

Hmm...

I just bought this kit and installed it yesterday. It rides good and gave a full 3"s in the front (a little more in the rear). For a cheap kit I thinks its a good value. I considered RC, but figured I would give the new guy a shot. I am not slamming RC as I have never bought there product, but I havent heard anything postive from local shops (and there are quite a few) Zone Offroad is part of BDS suspension, but a cheaper line to compete with RC, Rustys, etc... So I guess BDS suspension is garbage .

I'll post pics and a quick write up.

That's why it's really cheap You get the basics that you can "get by" with.

Both Zone and RC are great to deal with. I dealt with both of them and pleased everytime. RC has really fast shipping and zone's shipping is about a week and their products are nicely made. You can't go wrong with either.
