I have had a Zone Offroad 3 inch lift and 31s on my XJ for a little over 8 months now and it's great! I've put my Jeep through tons of abuse wheeling (I've even jumped it a couple times!) and the suspension has held up awesome. Unlike some of the other lift companies, my AAL's have never sagged.

It's definitely one of the cheapest 3 inch lifts out there, but it is very high quality and Zone Offroad is rumored to be a division of BDS suspension

The kit is $290.66 and comes with new coils, an add a leaf, 4 hydro shocks, new U bolts, and all the necessary hardware to "Get R Done". I paid a little more and got a windshield sticker and some red shock boots. If you want a really good ride, upgrade to the nitro shocks for $21 more.


Here's a link to the lift

Get the zone kit, not a lot of people have it but it's a good kit.
I've heard of rough country having sagging issues so i'd avoid them.
