I just looked at the RK stock mod. I already have a 2.5in RC lift now. I'm ready to go higher. This is the kit I've found from zone.

Are you ready for 4" of height.

Driveshafts/steering/etc ?

I am at 4" with RK coils.

I already need a rear DS. I know imma need a drag link flip kit. So I think I'm ready. Just wondering if that zone kit is worth it or just get a RK mid arm kit.

If you're hell bent on going that high then go with the Rock Krawler stuff and be done with it. Their stuff really is as good and as complete as it gets. Plus they're a great company to work with.

With that said, my personal opinion, 4" on 33's would look so out of proportion that it would borderline on foolishness. I understand it's your rig and you can do with it as you damned well please, but there is a reason you don't see very many rigs set up like you're talking about setting yours up. Stay low. You're more stable that way and you will have a whole lot less to mess with as time goes on.

Good luck,

Tyler

My plan if lift it now and when I need new tires go to 35s. Trust me I wouldn't be staying with 33s with a 4in lift.

Highest we would go for 35's is Rock Krawler's 3.5" lift.

You will want the adjust-ability of the control arms. 2.5" is the highest you should go with out having adjustable arms or drop brackets. Adjustable arms being the better choice.

This will allow you do dial in your rig properly. Going to the 3.5" height we would start out with this system as a minimum.

JK 3.5 FLEX SYSTEM

If you have aftermarket drive shafts that kit will do great. If you want to try and preserve your factory drive shaft you should really step it up to this kit.

JK 3.5 X FACTOR SYSTEM

We run the X-Factor plus kit, 3-link in the rear, and have nothing but good things to say about it.
