Got my zone 4.5 inch lift with upgraded shocks for 510 shipped. That's about 80-90 cheaper then zones website. I got the kit from a vendor here by the username of "AOR"

I've actually never heard of Zone until now. The reviews look good. Price isn't too shabby for all you get. What I'd really like to do is put a 1.5 shackle and 1.75 spacer so it's like a 5.5 lift. If I can do that. Can you post some pics

Only reason I went with RC over Zone was because Zone didn't have an option for full leaves.

the rustys kit is a very good kit, i have ran alot of their products and always been satisfied. make sure you get full leaf packs, extended brake lines and sway bar discos.

I think the Rusty's kit is the best bang for your buck out there. they have a good reputation. their kit comes with the full leaf pack with shackle options. That's the kit I'm going with when I upgrade the crappy budget boost blocks and springs the previous owner installed.

Gotta love rustys. They make good stuff. I live close to one of their vendors and bought my 3 inch rustys pretty darn cheap, not a single complaint.
