Going with a 3 inch AAL for my 99 jeep Cherokee. Just trying to determine which brand to go with. Rough country, Zone, Rusty's, Skyjacker? pros and cons? which one do you prefer?

They're all gonna be pretty much the same. Go with whatever one you can get the cheapest. I opted for the Zone 3" with nitro shocks and full packs. I haven't installed it yet but, it looks well built.

Mine were in good shape so they are not sagging at all. If your leafs are already sagging then get new packs, if not then the AAL should be ok. Rides a little rough but it's a lifted jeep not a Cadillac lol

Pros: cheaper than ****
Cons: rides like ****, lasts as long as ****

You get what you pay for.

Get a smaller coffee in the morning, save the couple bucks and get a kit with full leaf packs. Zone is good.

Lasts as long as [pewp]?

Just trying to figure out that last word. How long my **** lasts depends on whether I at mexican food that day or not...

On topic though, zone is probably the best out of all those.
