Zone 3” Adventure Series Lift Kit, Pro's and Cons?

[JGB1966]

Am looking for some input, after the latest trip to Colorado, I'm in the market for a good 3" or adjustable lift in the 3-4" range.
I'm curious as to thoughts on the Zone #" lift with upper control arms.

I may or may not go to 37" tires. If I do it will probably be a few years

Currently have a 22' Big Bend, Sasquatch, 4 door. Love the way it performs on the trails and rides on the street, just looking for a little more clearance. and a better stance on the 35's

Thank you for your input.

Mamma's daily driver, but I get to build it for the trail.

I would also look into lift springs like eibach or Dobson because they keep you within the limit of the oem suspension geometry. But if you wanted that particular zone lift I think it’s okay too. I wheel with a guy on 37s with that lift all the time and he really likes it and has had zero issues whatsoever with it or any other driveline component.

Here’s mine. That kits been installed for nearly a year now, zero complaints. Still rides very nice too, which surprised me. On 37” KM3s.

As long as you don’t have a lot of weight in the back, it works pretty good. We had it on ours for a year until we upgraded to RadFlo coilovers. They worked great on the trails and at the sand dunes. Enough clearance for 37s as well.

did you have any clearance issues with the 37”?

I've had this kit on mine for about 16 months and it has been good. Like @HeliPilot , I'm also running 37 km3 though mine is with a zero offset aftermarket wheel. I have had mine rub in the front on a full turn backing up once but other than that, it has been good. Only complaints is the KM3s have gotten a little noisy as I have racked up the miles on them (think I have put close to 20k on them).

I will note that I think about a month after I installed these that Eibach came out with the their stage 2 coilover kit. If it was available when I pulled the trigger, I would of spent a little more and gone that route.

Wouldn’t know because I installed the JKS Max Tire Kit at the same time. And I run spacers on the factory wheels. So I’ve never had any clearance issues.

I went with the 3 inch Readylift for the Sasquatch package because it has the rear track bar bracket also in the kit, running black rhino wheels, Yokohama 37’s

Currently zone is fine for everyday use, if you wheel a lot you don't want that much spacer lift. I am on the to much spacer kills CV axles at full droop bandwagon.

Went with Bilstein 6100s which are 2.5 and adjustable. Added about 2 inches and leveled it. Super happy with it and drives a lot better than OEM SAS. Jeepandtruckparts has the fronts for around $210 each which is a smokin deal. Just another option for around $1000 for all 4 and doesn't hurt geometry and improves ride and a 2.5 shock.

I only have about 500 road miles on mine but am happy so far (added rockjock track bar bracket with kit)…will see when I hit some rocks in a couple weeks…would like to see someone offer a 1” diff drop…

I’ve had the zone kit on for 8 months now and had zero issues. 7 thousand miles.

Also have wheeled it a fair bit. Nothing major. Mostly 2 tracks in northern Michigan.

Eibach coilovers FTW! We seriously cannot recommend this setup enough. By far the best bang for buck lift kit on the market currently. They offer a great ride and they are extremely durable! Also height adjustable so you can really dial in the right to your preference!

Eibach Coilovers - Ford Bronco

We have these available right now for a STEAL at $1500 with free shipping. I would be happy to get you set up or answer any other questions you may have!

Did you do anything for the gears besides putting on the lift and 37's? I have a 3 1/2" lift and want to go with 37's but not sure what else I need to do.

Nope, but I do have the ford performance tune. Mostly to correct the Speedo, but the power bump help with the tire size.
