Have you read this yet ? https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/nk...-chart-211878/ rough country is known for a rougher ride so if that matters then skip them.The zone kit is nice but keep in mind at 4.5 inches you need a new track bar and either a t case drop which i wouldn't do it,Or a sye kit with a new rear driveshaft which i would do over a t case drop.On a track bar best bang for the buck is https://www.ironrockoffroad.com/prod...k-bar-kit.html on the sye kit theres many options and depends if your doing it or a shop is for you.

I have a Zone 4-1/2", it rides rough but it's a budget coil/spring lift so that's just how it is. I went with a like new Clayton track bar and mount, great product IMO. I did a IRO Hack and Tap, a lot of folks don't like them for various reasons but I'm on a budget. Front shaft from a JY and you're good to go.

Zone is much better than Rough Country. Rough Country's shocks are terrible the leaf springs sag and the bushings wear out quick. Zone is made by BDS and they have better products and better quality control. Also have you looked at the Trailmaster lift kits. I have a 3" Trailmaster on mine and it rides much better than my buddy's jeep that has a 3" Rough Country lift.
