Ok, so i been reading on different lift kits and i am pretty much settled on the zone 3". but im a bit reluctant after reading a few thread's from people with other 3" kits that only get 2- 2.5" of lift. i would like to know just how high this zone kit will net me, cause i dont wanna chunk out the cash on a 3" if all im gona get is 2.5"!

i purchased the 3"zone AAl kit in July 2010 to run 31" tires. Immediatley upon installation i measured a differece of 3.25" in rear and every bit of 3 in front, i have not checked recentley as to whether this is holding up to that heigth, but i regularly haul mulitple weight trailers and have had no issues with substatial sagging in the rear. (my xj is a 99) an older model with sagging springs could produce smaller results in rear, and potentially larger results in front if 3" longer than OEM coils are replacing worn ones. p.s no transfer case drop or SYE was needed, which is what i desired. The ride is not a great deal stiffer than the stock setup. good luck

I have the Zone 3 inch lift on my 96. I installed it in October 2010 and it's been holding up great! My leafs were a little saggy before the AAL. Now, its still at the same height I measured back when I installed it. No more sagging! I got a little more than 3 inches front and rear. The quality of the parts are great, I would suggest getting the nitro shock upgrade though because I'm running the hydroulic shocks and they're a little soft.
