Just Got Zone 6" Lift Installed

[Mad Maxx]

The BDS 7" is a Non-Torsion Drop. It keeps them Tucked Up in the Factory Position. Their 4.5" a Torsion Bar Drop. The Zone is a Torsion Drop, so they will be Hanging Down, Below the Frame of the Truck.

Hmm.. The 7" is sounding even better. I'll have to call them and see what it can be decranked to.

I think it does look good but it needs some more sidewall. I'm also not a fan of the Cali lean, I think that looks gay. It's down here too but not nearly as much. I dont understand why its cool to have their headlights pointing toward the moon.

I Asked Zone the same thing, and they said they Recommend a Lowest Setting of 5"...because that's what size Rear Block the Kit comes with.

But I'd say the TRUE Lowest Setting for the BDS would be the same as Zone, so figure 3.5-4".

 

[tanman_2006]

Ok, I am not using the block so i'm not concerned with that. If 3.5-4 is doable (measured from stock height) then i am set. I am 3.5" higher than stock up front with just the bars cranked part way as i sit now and still want ~1" more (we could always use an extra 1" :hihi

How Big are the Deavers you got in the Rear?

 

[Mad Maxx]

All done...35's on 22's. When these 35's Wear Out, I'll def. be able to Clear 37's with this Lift, so that's what I'll go with Next Time.

 

[tanman_2006]

My deavers are 3500# rated springs but they gave me 5" of lift.

Wow! That changed the whole attitude of the truck. Looks great James!!!

 

[Mad Maxx]

Yea, I'm Happy with how it Looks.

The Black Wheel thing is getting Old.

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

Wow. Your in the nose bleed section with that lift! But it looks good. :thumbsup:

BTW, did you see my link in your "drop hitches" thread?

Yep, def a Nice Hitch, but they don't make a Tri-Ball Setup

You can hardly find a trailer with a 1-7/8 coupler.anymore...not sure if anyone even produces them in that configuration anymore...just change your coupler to a 2" and get the double ball mount and be done with it...

It's for my 'Ski Trailer.

I'll have to See if I can get one Small enough to Fit the Trailer, then a Dual Ball Setup may be ok.

But even so, if I Find a Good Deal on something Old that comes with a Trailer and it's an 1 7/8" I'm Screwed. So it's better for me to have the Tri-Baller.

James: You can always change the trailer hitch end to accept a 2" ball. Just take a look at the hitch end. It can either be unbolted or cut off and a new one bolted or welded on. Then you would not have to worry about the 1 7/8" ball. Streamline your trailers to accept the same size ball. It's an option for you to consider.
