Zone 4.5in lift???
 
I am 17 and am new to the jeep world and wanted to know if anyone has had any problems with these lifts or comments to make about the company...i was looking at the 4.5in AAL it seems to be a decent lift for the amount of money. Is there anything else that i would need to get along with this kit to complete it?

Any and all help is appreciated
thanks for the advice in advance:icon_cheesygrin:

From everything I've read there a good company, a branch of BDS I believe. It looks like a complete kit other than extended bake lines, although I would get full leaf packs so that way you won't have to worry about your rear end sagging later.

How long does it take before the AAL starts to sag?a year or two? Cause my jeep doesn't sag at all...If I have okay leafsprings now they won't sag for awhile, am I right?

I run the zone 3 inch lift with their lower control arms and I love it but because they dont offer full leaf packs I called BDS and ordered a set of their 3 inch leafs packs. I have had no problem with the zone lift and have been running it for over a year now.

I just installed the 3" aal from zone- and now it actually rides smoother now! I only had it on for a month so not sure about the sagging issue. I am hoping to put a full pack in a year or so... Great budget lift i'd say.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! My jeep is my DD but I want to see some trails a few times a month, does it get decent flex and ride down the road smooth?

I like the way mine rides but its not a 4.5 inch and I didnt use the aal. I DD mine and drive over 400 miles a week. It flexes pretty good but I also run lower control arms and I have adj. uppers so as for how the stock kit flexs I couldnt tell you.

I got my 4.5 zone lift at 17 to! But anyways it's a great lift the aal does start to sag, I'm already looking for new leafs. But if you have a lot of rust you might need a few other things. But everything you need is already there except a new beefier track bar.
It's also my dd and I do a ton of offroading. Rides great.

Also, dont forget to budget for a sye!

That's awesome! Hardly any jeepers in my area, and none at my school.
How long did it take before before the sagging got noticeable?

I ordered shocks from Zone. They sent me the shocks and half the bushings were missing. Then the customer support guy I talked to said he contacted an offorad shop near me and set it up so I could get my bushi9ngs but whren i went to the shop the next day they had no clue what I was talking about. So after a huge messy run around I got my bushings almost two weeks after my shocks. They didn't even offer any sort of compensation and were rather unapoligetic for their mistake. Shocks seem decent but I had a bad experience with customer service.

Looks like I'm set on the 4.5in zone lift!

It has been a good 8 months. They are sagging but it's not as bad as some of the other aal iv seen.
