I have the 3 inch zone on my 11 jku with nitro shocks. First time installing with a new friend I met on here and love it. Put it on in 4 hours in his driveway and still running the stock adj trackbar, no issues at all and love it. I'll upgrade the trackbar eventually but not a have to do thing. Great customer service also. And your right it is made by Bds just doesn't have the lifetime warranty to save you money on the kit. I love it

Adjustable track bar,
procomp seties 98 flat black rims. 16" with 4.5" backspacing.
AEV Procal Module
35" tires. Undecided what brand I will go with.

is anybody running this lift on a 2012 JKUR? Any feedback, photos, pros/cons? How did the installation go? Are you happy with it?


Is anybody running any of the other gear mentioned above? Feed back?

is anybody using the stock tire carrier with a 35"? How's the tailgate holding up?

Is it safe to assume that I'll have to trim the rock rails to fit the rear tires in properly?

Will the stock fenders be ok for now?

Is there anything I should be aware of before pulling the trigger on this or am I forgetting anything?


thanks

New front drive shaft for sure, I'm in the same boat right now on my 2008 and looking for a drive shaft, plan on $600 for a new one.

The rancho 4" sport with 9000's would be about that price after the rebate deal. It is very complete and so cheap I think they are losing money. Go look at what all it comes with versus the zone kit. They ride fantastic. They drop the front trackbar and draglink along with lowering the front control arms and it gets rid of any bumpsteer and and doesn't have any flighty feeling. Nice innovative kit at a super low price. I like it. I have wheeled with a guy that had it and I was surprised with it on and off road.
