Yeah, looks like it. You can tell because it's got that little "lip" at the bottom, that the Dana 35 doesn't have.

This is the pic that everyone likes:

I'd research more lift companies than Zone. I bought the zone 3'' kit back in october and the rear leafs are sagging, I had to buy shackles to even it out. Replaced them under warranty, but they still sagged.

The rest of the kit is great, just those damn leafs. It's apparently a new design for them, so who knows what happened. Maybe mine was an anomaly, but like I said, the second set of leafs I got did the same thing on my so I bought 1" spacers for the front and 2" shackles for the rear to go up and even it out

I have a 2" coil spacer on it now but it gives a real bouncy ride. How does it ride?
