zone 3 inch lift
what are your thoughts of the zone 3 inch lift? My main concern is the track bar relocation bracket and do you think it is too much lift to be using the bracket. thanks

I just helped a friend put one in last month. The lift was just a bit over 3 inches on a 2 door (we measured).
A pretty straight-forward kit that came with everything you need.
The guy says it rides better than the stock springs.
The bracket install seemed pretty strong. From what I hear, I think the weak point is the factory bracket, not the bolt-on.
Seems like a great lift for the price.

I have it and am very happy with it. The track bar bracket that comes with it isnt the design everyone was having problems with. If you do it right, you'll be fine. It bolts to stock location, and you bolt it on from the back. Great people to deal with and very affordable. Install took me arounds 3 hrs by myself.
Hope this helps.

The money I saved buying this kit allowed me to also buy adj track-bars, and not even bother with the bracket.
The ride is great, although when installing the shocks they seemed a little to easy to compress and extend. Anybody else find this?
Got a little over 3'' also, love the look, they should come this way from factory.
