Default some lift help

I'm a teen on a low budget and looking to buy a lift on the XJ classic I just bought. I already have wider 15's that were on it and am looking for an inexpensive, yet good 3"-4" kit to get for a Chrysler 8.25 rear. I saw Zone off-road are they good? Help please?!?

Don't know much about the zone but I've got a 3 inch rough country and love it. cheap but quality. Spend the extra money for new springs if yours are sagging.

I think I saw a used 4.5" kit (or major pieces of a kit) in the for sale forum for like $150? Can't get much more low-budget than that!

I'm looking for new, but I did see the rough country lift and my mechanic said the 3" series II is perfect but they don't have full rear springs for the Chrysler axle, just add-a-leafs. And I was looking for someone who has trail tested zone on a big trial like fordyce or Rubicon.

Look in the vender section here on the forum. Theres a vender by the name AOR that sells the zone kits at a pretty big discount.

Now, will the Zones hold up for the Rubicon? I live up in Tahoe and need a serious quality kit.

I heard they are produced by BDS under a different brand. So Im assuming the parts are good quality. I've also only heard good about the lifts from zone really.

You havent looked in the right places then. Unless things have changed they do make full packs for the rear on series II AND series I. Its an optional addition.

My recommendation would be to make bastard packs if you have the capability.
