Deciding on a 3" Lift

[JS52]

Hey guys,

I have gotten my wheels/tires (35's) for my Overland and I am deciding between 2 lifts and wanted to see if anyone has any feedback on the below lifts or have other recommendations.

Zone 3" lift with Fox adventure shocks
or the
Eibach All Terrain 3" lift

The truck is used to haul dirt bikes and do some moderate trails, nothing difficult at all.

Any feedback would be great as I could not find much about those 2 set ups.

Thank you

How did you manage to find the two least common lift kits? Most decent 2.5 lifts will get you to 3”+ anyways.

thats pretty much what I’m aiming for is 3” just so the 35’s still don’t look overly small. Those were the only 3” lifts I could find outside of fabtech

Have you considered the mopar lift by chance? I see you’re in California, where about? There’s a person local to me (92407) who sells them for $1200 bucks. I can help you install it for Pennie’s on the dollar if need be, and I also have some 1” spacers to put on top of your lift in the front to get you to 3”.

Actually not far from at you at. I’m near yucca valley. If your thinking of the people in like upland they don’t have any gas mopar lifts at the moment, I have checked.

I am not opposed to the mopar lift at all

AEV has their 2.5" kits in stock, they should get you closer to 3" if you aren't sporting steel bumpers, winches etc.... We run AEV on my wife's JL and it's been nothing but great.

Ah yeah just checked, that’s the same one I was referring to. Out of curiosity, have you looked into the Icon lifts? Their stage 2 lift gets shocks springs end links and a few other goodies and it can be had for less than 1200 bucks. It’s a 2.5” lift, a simple spacer in the front would bring you up a little more and I’d be willing to be it would ride nicely. Icon makes good stuff.

The nice part about Icon is their “stages” are upgradable, so you can add to it as you go. Stage 3 adds front LCAs for a few more bucks, and so on. Just thinking out loud ??

I have but I was really looking for a 3” lift. Which sounds like if your switching springs it’ll be around 3inches anyways

i have, I actually have a couple buddies who work there so I may look into that route. Just wanted to see if anyone had experience with the 2 mentioned.

I'd take a look at clayton ride right 2.5" which should net you 3". This way you can upgrade to the full kit later if you want. Clayton makes good stuff.

If you are hauling dirt biks in the back, Clayton's triple rate springs in their 2.5 ride right lift may be the way to go.
Mine just came in. Like you, I will be hauling my dirt bike and gear in my Gladiator.

I'm in the same boat as you looking at 3" lifts. I'm strongly considering the 3" BDS lift over the Zone because it includes JKS swaybar disconnects. Turns out that JKS, BDS, and Zones are all owned by SportTruck and share manufacturing. (I really like the Metal Cloak 3.5" but requires a front driveshaft change so adds another $700 or so.)

Curious what you all chose to do.

I ended up with the Zone lift, after talking to Zone they mentioned it’s essentially the same kit and spring rates as the BDS AND JKS basic 3” lifts. I added a Maxtrac track bar and it rides great.
