4.5 zone lift questions
So I recently purchased the 4.5 inch Zone lift for my cherokee after running the popular 1.5-2 inch budget boost for about 2 years (specifically the one that is popular on this subreddit). I’m simply wondering if the combination of the add a leafs and my heavy duty rear leafs will ride properly at the proper height. I would be ok with just putting the add a leafs on my old original stock leaf springs, but they’re so worn out that they invert under weight. Thanks!192.168.0.1 routerlogin 192.168.l.l

Welcome to forum, Carl. This thread should really in the Modified section, as it's a technical question, rather than just general Chat. I'll flag it and a moderator will get around to moving it sometime.
That aside, I'm puzzled by some things about your question:
Are we to understand that you bought the suspension kit without the rear springs, and are wondering if you can use it with your worn out springs with the bastard pack? If so, I think that would be a very bad idea. If your springs are shot, your springs are shot, and you need new springs. A lifted vehicle needs good springs even more than a stock vehicle. You do not want to be messing with worn out springs and band-aid attempts to make them work when you are lifted.
It would probably be best to get them from Zone, so it all works together. If you have a problem with something, you don't want Zone to be blaming your springs.

There are no "subreddits" here. Reddit is a particular discussion website, with it's own particular layout, language, and culture. That term only applies on that website. It's not a general term for all discussion forums. This is the CherokeeForum, and there are sub-forums such as Cherokee Chat, Stock XJ Cherokee Tech, Modified XJ Cherokee Tech, and so on. Each forum has many threads, and each thread has individual posts. This is the language of almost all discussion forums, long before Reddit was born.
