Right now I'm looking at a 4.5 inch to put on my XJ. I was thinking about the Zone kit. I was wondering what else I would need for this lift.

Ive got the zone 4.5 on mine. I also added a IRO double shear track bar only because my axle end bushing was blown out. the only thing you should need is bigger tires!

Rear axle shim kit to get proper pinion angle.

Everything you'll need is in the Zone kit. I have that one on mine. The kit will have a t-case drop in it but I didn't use it. I have a SYE kit in my S-10 231.

double shear track bar.
extended brake lines
sye or tcase drop

that's really it. I dont' know if zone comes with that stuff or not, probably just the tcase drop and they'll have you relocate the trackbar and brakelines which is the poorman's way to do it half assedly.
