At 3" a track bar bracket will be fine as long as your track bar is good.

well after hearing zone leaf springs sag i wonder should i not get them and should i go with different leaf's?

:notwo rthy:

it really surprises me rocky road is still in business... theyre just a horrible vendor.

i run deaver coils and leafs, bc i went through a LOT of parts and a LOT of miles on my old jeep, and knew what i wanted, and decided to spend my money once. as far as budget leaf springs go, i hear good things about iron rock offroad. an old man emu setup would be perfect.. and if i was to build a mild XJ that all i would consider.

I have been happy with my zone lift so far (only had it a couple months)

Check your axle joint (u joints). That was the cause of my death wobble.

So we've got a problem with death wobble symptoms and instead of pinpointing the problem we're going to add new aftermarket variables....as for rc vs zone.... meh... plz say no to rocky road.

My jeep wobble will be looked at and tackled probably during install. Replacing most if not all components should help. And my mech says my stabilizer is basically non existent and my rest leafs are bending the oppisite way they should. I'm sure the wobble will dissipate with new suspension components.

As for what I think I'm gonna do I'm probably gonna go zone offroad with rough country rears if possible

But I guess I'll stay away from rocky road and rusty

FYI stablizer has nothing to do with wabble its either tires alignment or tie rods

I had the 3 inch series 2 rough country kit in my old jeep and never had a problem with it. beat it decently hard to. rough country isn't all the bad with smaller lift's. its once you go to the bigger lift's is where they suck

I put the zone on my XJ and had the RC on my YJ. I did the AAL on the XJ. I ended up putting on RE springs in the rear. Amazon had them for $105 shipped (each). What a difference!! Ride is great now. The zone lift ride better than the RC lift. But, I also had the RC lift on a YJ. That's my experience. PS, I am a picky SOB (I admit it) and I like the attention to detail from zone would sell me again.
