You are welcome. I made the error in a couple of posts. Tried to correct them, but it must have been to late I guess. Hope that helps you out some. If your tires stick out more, do you have 20x9 or 20x10 wheels? Or do you have spacers on your wheels? I do not have spacers on mine.

Yes I know. It was a typo. Look at my sig. They are +1

Beautiful looking truck.

I have the Zone 6 1/2" suspension lift, and IMO; the ride quality is equal to or better than it was when it was stock. Again, this is my opinion and others may disagree as to what they are experiencing. That is the 6 1/2" lift, I see that you are looking for a smaller lift, so that may change the quality of the ride. I would think that a 2" level would give you a slightly rougher ride, maybe not - just not sure, someone with a level may want to chime in to give a better perspective. Good luck in your decision.

The fender well measurements are about 47 1/4" to 47 1/2" front and about 48 rear. The ground that I measured on was not the most level. Hope that helps you out a little. I did read somewhere (Zone website probably) that the Add-A-Leaf kit was recommended for the crew cabs, but not a requirement. So for the most part it sits very close to level, just depends on what driveway or parking lot that I measure it in. After this winter there aren't to many levels areas around. LOL.

I would think that your tires would stick out further due to the negative offset. Mine are 0 (zero) offset on a 20x9. I wouldn't think that it would be significantly more (I could be wrong, and have been before, and will be again I'm sure. LOL), but it would be a little more.

No, I did not post the fender-well measurements. I did not have the before the lift measurement. I will try and get the measurements some time this week.

I went with the Zone Nitro rear shocks and the Add-A-Leaf kit. The ride is excellent IMO.

Here are some new pics.

I will get more pics up over the weekend.

I love the height of the truck as it sits now, for me, it is the perfect height (I am also 6'3"). I have the 6.5" suspension and the 1.5" body lifts, but I also put on the AMP power steps, and that makes it real easy to get in and out. IMO, the steps drop the ideal distance for me.

I was actually torn between the BDS and the Zone kits. The installer that I used recommended those two kits, and I was fine with that. It really boiled down to what I wanted and what my budget would allow. I researched and researched for what it seemed like forever. I was originally going to go rough country, and then changed my mind; thought about just doing the level kit, changed my mind again. LOL. But then I kept reading about the Zone kits, and I liked seeing what I was reading and decided to go that route. And the cost difference allowed me to get some of the other things that I wanted, so that is why I went with them. I knew that they had good kits, and that they are like a sister company to BDS. The ride is absolutely amazing so far. IMO, it is as good if not better than stock. Hope that helps.

Finally got my lift installed. 6.5" Zone suspension & 1.5" Zone body with 35x12.5x20 Trail Grapplers, 20x9 Fuel Krank with 0 offset and 5 backspace.

Great looking truck. I get mine back today from the installer.

Do you have a part number for those? Are those the ones that are heated, power adjust and turn signal indicators? Truck looks awesome.

Thanks for the responses. I have decided to go with the full suspension lift. I am going to go with either the Zone 6.5" suspension lift with the Zone 1.5" body lift, or the 7" RCX lift. 35x12.5x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers. Hoping to get this done in mid March. I got a quote from the local 4x4 shop for about $3000 (rounded up to include taxes here in Chicagoland area) for both the Zone suspension and body lift installed with an alignment (parts and labor). I think that seems like a good deal. So I guess that I am leaning towards the Zone kits. LOL. Thanks again for the input.

You could try a 7" RCX Suspension lift + 1.5" Zone body lift. That may work. Just my opinion. Good Luck. OR try this CST Suspension http://cstsuspension.com/254-lift-kit-2014-1500-p-u-w-steel-oe-susp-8-inch.html

I asked this same question in the Leveling Kit thread, so I also wanted to ask/post it here as well. I have a question, or maybe matter of individual opinion. I have the Rough Country 2.5" level/lift with the rear blocks (have not installed this kit yet). I am debating as to whether to install that with a 1.5" Zone Offroad body lift, or the Performance Accessories 3" body lift, or go with the 7" RCX lift. I want to put on 35x12.5x20 tires 20x10 wheels with either a -12 offset with backspace of 5 Fuel Mavericks, -19 offset with a backspace of 4.75 BMF Novakane Death Metal, or -24 offset with a backspace of 4.5 Fuel Maverick or Krank. Just looking for those of you that have done maybe a combo of these and opinions. I understand that it is personal preference as to what people want, affordability, etc. I have read this thread and the suspension lift thread and am really on the fence as to which way I want to go. Seen so many great looking trucks that are leveled, leveled + body lift, and lifted. Thanks in advance.

If you are just looking for an extra inch or two in height, maybe a small body lift will work. Just thinking out loud. LOL. Great looking truck by the way.

Awesome looking truck. How is the negative offset with the rubbing? Is it only in reverse at full lock? I am really close to pulling the trigger on some new rims and the Fuel Mavericks and the Fuel Kranks are the 2 that I am looking at in that same -12 or possibly -24 with the 33 x 12.5 x 20 tires.

Looks good, and it looks as if there is a good deal of room. Congrats. Truck looks awesome. That will be the tire and size that I will go with. Had those exact same tires on my last two Fords and there were no issues at all. Looks like they will be going on my Chevy now. Thanks for the pics.
