Default If you had to choose....?

between a susp. kit that includes lower arms & no front track-bar [just bracket] ---BDS---

OR

a kit with cam bolts & a track bar...---ZONE--- also cheaper of the two


ideally i know you'd want it all, but the budget is not deep enough right now.
would upgrade at a later date for sure. Just need to know where to ''sacrifice'' function temporarily

sorry if this don't make sense, i've had a sum ''christmas cheer'' tonite

the link below goes to a post that was made today and the user makes a comment regarding his cam bolts that i think you need to read:

cam bolts are a cheap solution that i strongly would not recommend using.

now, having said all that, how big of a tire are you wanting to run? do you really need to get a coil lift? being that you are on a budget, you really should consider getting a budget boots like teraflex makes. it's affordable, comes with everything you need, works great and with the addition of a body lift, you can easily run 35's with it.

Zone and BDS are the same company arent they? I would choose neither.

trust me on this, seriously consider the 2.5" BB option. kidjeep has this setup on his sahara now and he's wheeled the rubicon with me. it's a great setup and will hold you over until you can afford a real lift.

I have the 3" BDS and have no complaints. I guess other people with more power on here disagree though.

I'd choose bubblegum and toothpicks over cam bolts.
