No worries. He has a Rubicon anyways. Doesnt need a SYE. We both overlooked that little detail.
Rough Country 3.25 inch lift?

This is more ideal over the kit with the Rough Country shocks. The Rough Country stuff is cheaper for a reason. I for one, if I was in your position, wouldnt care to find out why.
Hey guys I’m prob going to do this my self and first time doing a lift. And I don’t know if I’m comfortable doing a body lift. Maybe later on. But I didn’t notice that zone makes a 3 inch lift
I see that’s the zone 3 inch and the rough country 3.25 are about the same and include the same parts. Should I chose the zone kit. Thanks

I thought we went over this but Zone makes a better quality lift than both Rough Country and Skyjacker. Go with the Zone, it has a better design than either of those two other bottom-of-the-barrel brands. I'd rather beat my head with a hammer than install a Skyjacker or Rough Country suspension lift.
And a small 1-1.25" body lift is an easier install than a suspension lift is. But the suspension lift is the core lift, the body lift just serves to give more tire clearance and it raises the COG less than a taller suspension lift does.
Also do I need front or rear cam bolts for the lift or both. And a single or dual steering Stabilzer. Thanks
IF you need to replace the steering stabilizer, which wouldn't have anything to do with putting a lift on and almost definitely won't solve any steering problem you're having but might mask it for a little while, a dual stabilizer is overkill for what you're describing. Get something like this (this fit my 2000 TJ, not sure if a 2006 Rubi would require a different length but I doubt it): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C53XRK/?tag=wranglerorg-20
Not only are dual stabilizers "overkill", they're a bad idea to install. They just force the power steering system to have to work harder which can make it prone to overheat, especially if it's a warm day.
Thanks guys sorry first Jeep and just want to make sure I’m doing everything right. Any idea about the cam bolts. Thanks
Front or rear? Don't bother with rears, they don't hold the angle well enough. For the front, that job is usually given to adjustable length control arms... especially since front cam bolts only give around 1.5 degrees of adjustability. For commonly installed 3-4" lift heights they're seldom needed where the caster angle is concerned.
No worries, we all start somewhere (compared to lots of guys on here, Jerry included, I'm still starting somewhere).
My 2000 TJ didn't have cam bolts, and I don't know the rhyme or reason why some seem to have them and others don't. The Zone kit doesn't include new hardware (most kits don't), so I'd say just stick with what you've got.
Rough Country now offers the springs with out shocks. I think they caught on to there problem. I did a 2.5" Rough country with RS5000x shocks and runs great for low cost. I still would not recommend Rough country on any thing over a 2.5" and never shocks.
Yep, sounds right to me. If it’s just springs and the basics, can’t go wrong there.
Ok awesome thanks everyone. since I don’t need the rear cam bolts. Is it hard to install the front cam bolts
Unless the body mounts are rusty. But upper rear shock mounting bolts can be a challenge depending on the vehicle.
Hey guys I’m going to get the zone front cam bolts. And I see they have a rear pinion cam locks. Do I need those. Thanks
