Zone is good, its a subsidary of BDS, so quality stuff. Also Rubicon Express has a 3.5 inch lift that actually gives you 4.5 inches for 410.00. Its all in what you can afford. most of us are over here on the east coast but we have a few your way that would be glad to help. I can round a few up for ya and you could even ride along with them if you want.

If I were you though, I'd piece together your own lift using killer parts. I bought Rubicon's full kit and I plan on changing my dampers to Bilsteins and my lower control arms (paired with upper ones too mind you) to Teraflex somewhere down the road.
RE's lower control arms are fine but they're not adjustable and their dampers and not the smoothest things in the world. They're springs on the other hand - top quality!

Yep. My 3.5" RE lift is not 3.5" - more like 4" now that its settled. If I were you though, I'd piece together your own lift using killer parts.

What's the best way that y'all have taken care of rust? I'm going to get some undercarriage paint or would like Line-X be better?
