I have the Zone 4.5 which uses the 3inch springs. They will relax over time but remember that this is an OFFROAD lift company. The springs are designed for rugged applications to perform while under load. Unloaded your back end will bounce like a truck. When i put my 200lb spare tire/tools etc in the back the ride softens up very nicely.

Very true I have a rear swing out tire carrier bumper quite heavy and in the cargo area tools/recovery gear a lot/spare parts/air compressor/etc.
The front has HD coils made for a winch/bumper combo (3" with ACOS spacer) rear (3" leaf with 1 1/2" Boomerang Shackle). Base for the 4 1/2" lift a Rustys full 3" leaf coil kit.

No, I don't lick fish.
Very good combination of clean and tough lookin'. I see that OX locker diff cover peakin' out there. Would love to see a build thread if you have one.

Newbie lift question.
The jeep I bought already had a lift on it and I also want to lift my other jeep. The question is this.
If I do not buy it as a kit(Piece it out over time for money reasons), how do I know which parts to order for a specific height? Are some of the parts the same regardless of height, or to a certain height. If I order replacement parts, how do I know which ones will fit my existing lift?
Thanks

Best place for questions, however, is this thread https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/al...579/index1795/
This thread is just for posting pictoral examples of lift/tire setups.

4.5" lift with 33x12.5 tires
8.8 swap got me about 3/4 more in the rear. Looks even because I cut more fender up front.
