Any oppionions of this suspension? Zone

http://zoneoffroad.com/product?ki=488&gr=-1

Does anyone know anything about this suspension it is supposedly all USA made and my local truck shop is recommending it to me. I want a 3 inch suspension lift so this is the one they recommended it is a 4 inch lift known as zone offroad suspension. I was looking at toyotech or old man emu.

Any comments, concerns, or info from experience with these products would be greatly appreciated.

 

Idk much about it but its a drop bracket so your cross member is going to be cut and you'll actually lose ground clearance

 

I did not see anything about this.

 

stupid to cut the cross-member for a 4 inch lift IMO. You might as well get a 6 inch lift if you have to cut. Or stick with a 3 inch lift.

You typically get what you pay for, and I would not put this on my truck.

 

Yup drop bracket lift, you have to cut the cross-member. You will lose ground clearance. I have a 6 inch lift with 35's and have less ground clearance than a 3 in lift with 33's. I've measured

 

You can get a good quality OME full suspension 3" lift for less than this kit. I wouldn't waste my money on it

 

Zone makes shit products.

Putting that aside, 6" vs 3", 3" has better running clearance, 6" has better breakover. There are arguments for both. Personally I say stick with the ~3" or swap the front.

 

Zone sucks go billies they are cheaper and much better

 

This is why I decided on a 3 inch lift... I almost did a 6 inch lift, even purchased the larger tires... then I changed my mind, took those big tires back and did a 3 inch fox shocks lift with TC UCA's and 285/60/17 tires.

Glad I did the 3 inch lift for off-roading reasons... My rear is not lifted yet, just a 1 inch block, lift to be completed soon.


This is my truck MGMTacolover55:



IMO, stick with a 3 inch lift... Many love the OME lifts.

 

The site states 90% made in usa.
I dont like the crossmember being cut.
There are less expensive options that would probably serve u better.
Do some more searches in the suspension forum, & keep in mind simplier is better. One last thing, the kit states u can not use any stock wheels.

 

It all depends on what you want out of your truck. Do some extensive research before just going out and buying a shit product because its cheap. If youre stuck on 6" like i was for a while, BDS has the best warranty and Fabtech/Pro Comp are also pretty good with replacing broken parts.

 

First of all I don't mind put out a few extra bucks I even told this to the shop they still highly recommended this lift, saying it is better made than most and that they just did one on a tundra and that it looks good. I told them if I bought a different setup and brought in there would they be able to put it on, he said labor would go from 65 an hour to 85 an hour I thought he was joking he wasn't. Then he said it would take at least 10 I don't think I want to go with these guys but from what I can tell it is the only shop around here.

 

Exactly that sounds like a bad shop

 

I dont know if the shop is bad, but they do make some of their profit from the sale of the lift. Where r u? Maybe someone can reco a good shop within a good distance.

I have the zone lift and have had no issues at all w it and installed it myself. The 4" and 6" are basically the same except the 4" kit comes w a 3" block in rear and the 6" kit comes w the 4" block in rear and a small preload spacer for the front which goes between the coil and top hat.
I went with the 4" but also put 5100's all around set @ .85 for front), installed allpro leaf pack, extended brake lines so Im sitting at 5" front and 4" rear lift which is perfect for running 33's IMO.

 

I am interested in doing a 4 inch DB lift, does anyone else have experience with Zone?

 

Yes have one installed on my truck
