3" Zone with 30x9.5's. This was taken immediately after lift install. Lift has since settled and looks good.

buy the lift parts, but don't lift it. Then save and wait for tires to come around. Do it all at once. That's just my thought.

Nice lift and dinky tires...I hate that. Do it all at the same time and do it right That's my plan when I DO lift it!

It dropped over an inch in the rear and half inch or so in the front. Looks better now. Wanted 31's but couldnt pass up almost new siped 30" Les Shwab MT's with wrangeler rims and centers for $250.

I will try and get some updated pics.

Here are some pics from today. I am very pleased on how everyting turned out. Zone Offroad is a new company and I was skeptical at first, but at this point wouldnt have gone any other way.

Did you use the shocks that came with your kit? And if so, how do you like them?

Yes I used the same shocks and it rides fine. But, my last truck was a lowered nissan truck and the one before that was a lifted solid front axle Toyota. Both rode terrible so I am not really hard to please.

If your thinking of getting the Zone kit I would recommend it, no regrets with the purchase. Think its hard to beat for the price.
