Default Lift kit

Purchased a new 2013 2door and asked the dealer about a lift. They will install a 3" for around 800.00' but the lift is a Zone lift kit. Anyone out there ever heard of these, and if so, any experience god or bas?

Stay away from Zone lift kits!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had issues with the shocks contacting the trackbar bracket in the rear, and the springs were sagging to the point where I could not stick my finger between the coils.

For $800 there are better lift kits out there. Do some research on the site; everything has been reviewed before. Don't just look at price, look at the components included.

Before you lift your rig you need to look into a few things, and forgive me if you have already thought about this stuff but your post does not indicate that.

What will you be doing with your rig?

What size tire will you be running?

What fenders do you want to run?

How important are the on road and off road handling characteristics?

Shoot us a PM and we can walk you through your decision making process.

Check out our Facebook page for tons of pictures and video's so you can get an idea of how different set ups look.
