Don't forget to put the zone windshield sticker in, it helps the lift flex better. It did on mine..lol

Yes...good advice
Jeep in shop right now.....I got the drop pitman arm....the rugged ridge sye..new rough country driveshaft ..and adjustable track bar from rough country with frame bolt on bracket ...hopefully it will come together...going with 32 inch .....thanks for all the advice from the forum..Great people here...
First off, I don't run a Zone lift, but it sounds like a lot of guys here do. Aint nothin' gonna blow up..... sounds like guys that run them, have good luck with them too. Congrats on your purchase.
4.5" is fine for a DD, what size tire do you plan on runnin? 31" or 32", it looks like the kit comes with pretty much what you need, you don't need a driveshaft unless you're installing an SYE at the same time. the kit does come with the transfer cased drop kit..
I'd recommend a SYE & new drive shaft (or XJ front drive shaft) as your next purchase and tires if you don't already have them.
At 4.5 you may need a drop pitman arm, & should really think about a double sheer track bar.
Good Start, and yes it is a START.... problem is you never, yes never get to the finish line when lifting a JEEP....
