Considering "Zone Suspension".. Opinions?
Hey guys I'm considering going with Zone suspensions 2" lift. The current shocks on my XJ are shot and I'm pretty sure they are the originals. I noticed zone has a "nitro" shock upgrade. What's your opinion on the "Zone" brand. Any feedback or reviews from those of you who may run the Zone brand?

I have heard that they are the sister company of BDS, but thats about it. With that being said it is also pretty hard to mess up a 2" bb haha. There is a vendor on here that might be able to get you a good deal.

Zone stuff is good! Its is basically bds with a different name. Only real difference is no lifetime warranty like bds. But really solid products. I just had to turn down a job there! I have installed both zone and bds both nice stuff. U don't need a dealer either for zone. Bds must be gotten through a vendor but zone sells direct. Call truckmaster in coldwater Mich. That is the parent of zone and bds, those guys can hook you up.if you have doubts check out the ultimate adventure zone Comanche! All zone and pretty sweet.

If you wanted to go cheap, find coil spacers, shackles and take off JK shocks.
My shop deals BDS/Zone and I never had problems with them. I get to install them.

I would go with the3" lift.....its not much more than the BB lift and you'll get sooo much more height and versatility. My 3" netted almost 4 inches around. I love my Zone lift....Allen on here set me up with a sweet deal on the kit.

Got my 2" BB lift from AOR this Christmas 
I'm very happy with the quality and looks of it. I also purchased the nitro shock upgrade. I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but overall the kit looks great!

I run a mix of zone and BDS stuff on my rig....never had any issues with them both great products. I run the BDS rear leafs because at the time zone didnt offer the leaf spring upgrade. Mods are in sig.
