Key Benefits of the Zone 3" JK Suspension Lift Kit
This coil spring-based system transforms your Jeep with a reliable 3" lift while maintaining OE ride quality. Designed for both 2-door and 4-door JKs, each component is precision-tuned for ultimate performance, durability, and road comfort.
Component Highlights
The kit includes front and rear dual-rate coil springs, four Fox 2.0 Performance IFP shocks, sway bar links, bump stop extensions, brake line relocation brackets, and a rear track bar relocation bracket. Every part is engineered to work together seamlessly for optimized suspension geometry and enhanced ride control.
Fox 2.0 IFP Shocks: Tuned for Jeep JK
Fox 2.0 IFP (Internal Floating Piston) shocks are specifically valved for the Jeep JK. They provide exceptional comfort on-road while absorbing aggressive off-road hits. These aluminum-bodied shocks resist corrosion and overheating, offering fade-free performance over rough terrain.
Vehicle Fitment
This kit is compatible with all 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK models, including Rubicon trims. Coil springs are model-specific to ensure proper height and handling:
| Year | Make | Model | Drive | Engine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2007–2018 | Jeep | Wrangler 2-Door (JK) | 4WD | Gas |
| 2007–2018 | Jeep | Wrangler 4-Door (JK) | 4WD | Gas |
What’s Included
Each kit includes:
- Front & rear 3" coil springs (2-door/4-door specific)
- 4 Fox 2.0 Performance Series IFP shocks (front & rear)
- Rear extended sway bar links with urethane bushings
- Rear track bar relocation bracket
- 2" bump stop extensions
- Brake line relocation brackets
- Shock boot covers
Installation Notes
Installation takes approximately 4–5 hours and is rated at a moderate difficulty level (2 out of 5). Factory wheels cannot be reused due to rear sway bar link interference. An aftermarket wheel with 4.5" backspacing is required.
For 2012–2018 models with stock front driveshafts, the exhaust must be repositioned using the Zone J5305 exhaust spacer kit. This prevents interference under full suspension articulation.
