Wait...come to think of it, I think the Zone kit is a low-end BDS...at least that's what I read somewhere a while ago...

I'm pretty sure it is I remember coming across that somewhere to. I like the BDS kit for the ZJ's it's one of the more complete kits. The shocks are passable as starters. The RE kit is good to but leaves out to many of the smaller necessary parts if you want to do your lift properly.

hey I have another question. What size tire can i run with the height of 4.5"
would these work 31x11R15 on my zj?

WJCraig

With 4.5 inches of lift you should be fine to run up to 33's without too much trouble...Maybe a little trimming for a wide 33, but anything under should fine without any trimming...

Just make sure that your backspacing is ok to accommodate the wider tires.

Avoid rear frame mounted track bar brackets , axle mount like RE's are better , but should be welded in for extra reinforcement . I have a welded RE bracket and an adjustable JKS bar . Decreasing the angle eliminates bump steer .
I wouldn't go with Zone for 1 reason , poly bushings . The will give you one harsh ride on the frt . You need rubber there . I run super flex arms everywhere but the lwr frts . At 5" , it's not bad . I have a set of frt control arms barand new from RRO , beefy as heck but I wouldn't use them because of the bushings .
Iron Rock Offroad offers a decent starter kit for the ZJ for under $500US , I'd add a rear track bar with it and upgrade the shocks .
Rough Country has a nice looking kit with those new beefy arms , it gets good reviews , $659us I think .
Mine is a combo of OME frt springs and shocks , frt UC springs in the rear and 1 inch spacers . Re adjustable control arms , RE GenII disco's , Adcco sway bar and a KOR strg brace , it works well
