I just purchased a Rough Country long arm kit for my ZJ. I have not installed it yet, but I have unboxed it and inspected all of the parts. It all looks like quality stuff with the exception of the track bar, it looks a little weak in my opinion. The bushings are Clevite and the joints look beefy. I'm sure it will last for a long time.

Zone coils are stiff, the ride is perfect when you have an aftermarket bumper or winch up front. Their shocks are just like base shocks from RC and Rusty's. They have a good quality product for the price and I wouldn't hesitate buy from them again.

Thanks for all the replys everybody. Seen some good and not so good but as far as I'm seeing the good outweighs the bad. I bought a 90 Cherokee cuz that's what I wanted! I definitely didn't expect a caddillac

As far as lifts go the entry level all have about the same equipment included with them. The main cost of the kit are the coils and leafs and there quality. One company that proves that is Rustys Off Road their Coils/Leafs are all American Made and high quality, going on 3 yrs. with mine and zero sag carrying heavy loads always.
I have the Zone 3" with full leaf packs...I think the rear left corner sits maybe 1/4-1/2" lower than the right, but They're pretty close...Could just be my ocd or my Jeep. I know I had it riding around with a broken stock shackle on one side for like a year haha...I think it rides pretty darned decent, a little stiff but not bad. I mean maybe the front could be smoother but the back feels fine to me, and rides better with more than 1/3 of a tank of gas...Idk I guess I'm just glad to be off the original leafs, one of which literally cracked in half...I think the ride will be like a cadillac if I do a shackle relocation and new shocks...Thing I need most for ride quality right now is a death wobble cure. I plan on doing track bar/control arm stuff and see if that solves it
