I looked at zone before and they're 4.5" kit only comes with an add a leaf. I would suggest getting new leaf springs.
The vendor on here substitutes another company's springs in, so I believe ZONE offers full packs

Zone does have a full pack 4.5" option, according to our vendor on the forum. They are out of stock at the moment, though. You'd have to ask him about price, but Zone and BDS are both run by the same company. I would trust their parts, but I haven't personally used any yet.

I don't think you need to. Until you go bigger. And you WILL go bigger.

Some ppl will say just get rid of it. I have one and wouldn't go bigger than 33's but even then if you are too hard on it, it will break. Just be easy on the gas lol

The general agreement that I've read is to not go above 31's. I had a 35 that I wheeled with 31's and I was always nervous, but it survived

I had 33s on a 35 in my 88 XJ and never had a problem except blowing apart the spider gears one yime. My friend had 32s on his TJ and kept snapping axles. My XJ was a none c clip so maybe that was the difference. I wasn't nice to it either!
