I personally have the 4'' zone and every thing seems to be fine. As for ride comfort, just a little less comfort than factory and good off road. For the money it's great, I paid $450. I don't anyone or anything about the R C lift so I can't say. The ? is how much do you want to spend. I had to go cheap because between lift,tires,rims,gears,lockers,delta offroad lights,winch and lod front stubby with in 4 months I'm broke. So next year I'm going to have teraflex 6'' long arm lift installed.

I also went with the Zone 4" lift. Ride quality is moderately more stiff than stock which is expected of any lift. No problems, concerns, or issues at all. The easiest lift kit I've installed on any Jeep.

I remember thinking that the 3" Zone lift was lacking especially when so close in price to the 4" kit. For under $500, by far the best purchase so far for the JK. Well besides the 35" tires, 15x10 wheels, and uncontrollable grin that came after installing the kit.

I went with the Zone 3" and love it. Rides better than stock, flexes like mad and clears 35's perfectly but I also have flat fenders.

Not if you go with an OME lift

I also just installed the 3" Zone lift $439, Rides very nice, made in the USA. Now if I could just get my new tires installed, wheel spacers are holding up the install.
