Ive got the zone 3" lift on a 2 door. Im happy with it and the ride over stock is much better. Running 35's but did need to trim the rear.

Ive heard the rc 3.5 is a better kit overall than the zone offroad kit. I do like zo only because bds makes there parts.

Why do you need a 3.5" lift? If you want to run 35's, you can get by with a 2.5" or even a puck lift. What do you want to do with your lifted rig?

I called the local Offroad shop and told them I was thinking about a Rusty's 3.25" Lift and they talked me into the Zone Offroad 4" lift. They told me it was more complete than the Rusty's for about the same $. I've done some research and can't find a bad word about Zone. I am going with the 4" mostly for looks...I don't plan on doing much actual off roading, so I think it will be fine for my purposes.

2.5" budget boost and 1.25" body lift will give you the look for the cheapest, and have the least impact on driveline and steering.

I am running that Rough Country 3.5" lift......great performance on and off road....Phenomenal bang for your buck.....comes with lower control arms, new pitman arm and trackbar relocation brackets....keeps the geometry in line.

PLUS........


AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE and they STAND behind their products!

I am wanting to lift it cause I put 305/70/17's on it and I think it would look better. Plus the guys I go 4x4 wheeling are lifted and it seems to be easier for them when on some of the rocky trails or going threw some of the creeks...
