And they know about the problem. When asked about it, they tell you to buy their shackle relocation brackets. **** them and their poor treatment of novice offroaders who don't know any better.

Zone is what I recommend for the entry level companies. If you can afford the price jump, check out Iron Rock and Rubicon Express.

I want three inches of lift and i have shackle relocations, im planning on getting 3" coil spacers for the front and 1" for the back. I was wondering if this will cause me any problems.

Not sure about the Kenda's, but I had a set of Hankook's and they were awesome off road in any terrain. On snowy roads they sucked though. Good wear, not too noisy. Definitely a good purchase if you don't have snow to worry about.

1" for the back? As in a 1" block and a 2" shackle? Yes it'll cause problems, it'll destroy your leaf packs faster than normal. And 3" coil spacers? I didn't know anything was made over 2" cause a 3" spacer is ridiculous. Save yourself the headache and get a real lift kit. You'll get a longer life out of it.
I hope I'm doing this right! lol I'm new on here. I have a '99 Cherokee Sport, Inline 6, 5 spd. I'm finally thinking about retiring her from my DD. I'm looking at a 4.5 inch Rough country, or maybe spending the big bucks and going with a 4.5 RE. I see the recomended tire size for 4.5 lift is 32x11.50's. I'm know where I can pick up a killer deal on a set of 33x12.5's on nice rims. Is anyone else running 33's with 4.5 lift? How bad am I going to rub?

I was thinking I will try the 33's, and if they rub too bad, I will add a 1.75" spacer on the front coils. It will spend most of it's time on the street. with a few trails in the summer, but nothing crazy. I bought it new, and have taken good care of it. I'll keep it on the easy stuff, and use my blazer project (S10 on full width dana 60's, 38'' swampers) for the crazy stuff.

I just looked at the entry level 4in lift from Iron Rock and compared it to the zone 4.5, and based on the parts included, the Zone kit look like a better deal because it comes with LCAs and you get .5 in more of lift. I don't know the difference between the quality but since the prices are close and the zone kit has a few more pieces, I'm leaning towards the Zone. But both sound good based on reviews.

Zone is good. As I've said, they're my recommendation out of all the entry level kits. IRO is a bit better. They make their own springs, and they're the only people from whom I buy control arms and track bars. They also have excellent customer service, and they've treated me very well in the past as a customer.
