Personaly I wouldnt run ither of them for the kind of wheeling we do. Sorry just my opinion. But good luck and enjoy.

I have the Zone Offroad 3". I originally bought it as a cheap way to fit my 35's so I could run them until I saved the $ for a long arm but I have to say after driving other JK's with different lifts I'm going to stick with Zone. It rides better than stock (Softer), has plenty of flex offroad (clears 35's at full flex with no rubbing) and I don't have any issues with anything. I even kept my stock driveshafts with no issues.

whats wrong with either of them for wheeling. Is it the track bar in the sone or the fact that the RC does not come with them.

Both kits come with CAM BOLTS. I'd suggest you do a quick search on them, read some comments and decide the pro's/con's of going that route vs adj arms.

My advice is simple... do it right the first time or you'll end up paying more the long run.

My favorite lifts are AEV, Teraflex, Currie Enterprises, and Clayton.

I'm running the AEV 3.5" Premium lift and absolutely love it. Handles outstanding on the road and I actually pulled off a RTI score last week of 882 on a 20 degree ramp. The kit came with a lot longer shocks then I was anticipating. I am running with the Cam-bolts and I don't anticipate any problems with them at all. My '98 TJ came with them from the factory and I never had an issue and I wheel the hell out of it. I will eventually run some adjustable control arms all the way around eventually.

can I not just add the control arms at a later date. The springs themselves in the lifts are not junk are they.

A few people on here that have it are happy with Rusty's lift. Have you looked at the OME?
