Zone is owned by BDS and is essentially the same product. BDS just carries a lifetime warranty and is why they are as expensive as they are. Zone is the same quality product just without the warranty.

I'll be doing Zone or Rubicon Express when I redo my lift.

The only thing about zone is I can't get a full leaf lift. If I can get one from zone that replaces the leaf springs I will bc mine are shot. I have looked at bds and they are way out of my price range but zone is the price I'm looking for.

And I have looked on craigslist and there is nothing there, and I would prefer buy my lift new. And 669 is pushing my price range but I could pay that just have to wait another 2 weeks for another paycheck.

Call them. I heard of someone ordering them as an upgrade with their kit.

I would highly recommend full springs over the AAL. If you plan on getting new OE rear spings and add the AAL to them it would be a complete waste. Even the newest springs you could find in a junkyard are going to be 11 years old. There are plenty of ways to get a lift with all you need to clear 33's and staying at the 600.00 budget.

im throwin the B.S. flag on this one
the bump stop is gonna limit ur flex by a lot on anything u climb over thats their job
ur gonna get prolly 4in less of travel which is a huge difference when u talk about keepin traction to all four wheels
and p.s. even a xj wit a 6in lift aint gonna climb over a 10 foot rock
