I've got the zone 3" and I'm running 35's. Had to do a lil trimming in the rear. The jeep rides better than it did new.

Default I have the 2.5 RC

I am not sure about the Zone 3" I have been running the RC 2.5" since December. I think it has a great stance, and the ride is great! I am running 315/75/17's with no rubbing! Also My lift was supper cheap!

im not a fan of zone...i broke one of there front track bars practically in half at the welds...it was a lift that came on the jeep b4 i did my build and the only part of the old lift left on my rig when i was done...i replaced it with a teraflex monster track bar..if you don't wheel your jeep the zone lift should be fine but if you do i would stay away from it...

i am sorry..i didn't read that you had already got it until after i posted...i wheel mine pretty hard and was running 37s and custom axles and brackets when it failed...i don't know if the 3 inch kit even comes with there adjustable track bar..if it does then i would keep a eye on it anyways just to be safe...
