With or without trimming the fenders? Do you offroad? What kind of wheeling? Street or offroad tires?

You should determine what size tire you need for your wheeling, and then determine lift height from there.

How will a zone 3" with new rear springs compare in overall lift vs the rubicon express 3.5" superflex with new rear springs. I hear RE underrated their lifts and normally net more! Is zone the same underrating? Should I expect more than the 3" realistically?

What about the two kits? RE comes with LCA, brake line and dico's but no shocks!! Im not going to flex this thing to the max so part of me wonders if I need the extra stuff in the RE kit?? Zone has shocks and is $200-$300 cheaper!

If you have the money get re, zone is a great lift but re is always better
