The zone stuff is pretty sweet and its made by bds so you know its good. The aal would work fine unless there is a problem or like 1000000000 miles on your stock springs. Ive done alot of aal lifts and all worked great. I prefer the ride of stock spring pack, soa, remove helper and use a block to level it. Real flexy!

Government vehicle= ran the **** out of. If it were me I would get the new or look for some low mile springs in the junk yard. Hi mile springs can suffer from metal fatigue and micro stress cracks. But it could be fine so its up to you. But if it were mine I would look around. I'm sure you are going with bigger tires and that puts more stress on springs also.

My AAL has been great to me, but they're noisy, and I think that's going to stick around forever. Anytime the weight transfers to the back when I hit the gas (or even if I just let off the brake at a stop), I hear a group of squeaks.

But i've had no other issues than some squeaks.
