how much rake does your truck have, do you have the fender measurements, im about to do the zone 4.5 and hope mine looks like yours when done.

I don't know the exact measurements and haven't got around to measuring yet but it approximately an inch higher in the rear. I'll see if I can get around to measuring it soon

Zone 4.5" 305/55s on 20x10s

I swapped the 4" block for a 3" and I'm at 42.75 Front and 42 Rear

i ordered the 3 inch block today mine has right at 2 inches of rake after installing the lift so the 3 inch block should bring that down to just under 1 inch

something is wrong if you have 2" of rake with the Zone 4.5.

the truck had alot of rake from the factory, pre-lift measurements were from shop floor to fender 36" in the front and 39 5/8" in the rear. So you add 4.5" to the front equals 40 1/2". Take the 1 1/4 block out of rear to come down to 38 3/8" and add the 4" block to bring the rear up to 42 3/8". That's a 1 7/8" difference.

the front is lifted more than just 4.5" generally.

Just got a quote for a zone 6.5 installed and 35x12.5x20 BFG KO2 for $2900. I priced the zone at 899 plus best price on BFGs with tax is 1354 for a total. Is 650 labor a good deal or should I shop around?

 

 

Also the fox shocks are only 126 more on the zone website. Are they worth the upgrade in terms of less stiffness in the ride or are the standard hydro shocks sufficient?

The fox rear shocks are stiff. I have no clue about the hydro shocks but I have the fox 2.0 rears and am going to be getting the fox 2.5's piggy back factory shocks to match the front coilovers. I'd probably save the money

Will those work with our 4-6" lifts? I saw them on Fox's website but they show them to work with a 0-1.5" lift

I'm in the process of trying to find a definite answer. Also looking to see if fox does by chance make them a little longer to fit with our 4-6" lifts or worst case scenario somebody (I think it's ready lift) makes shock extension pieces that allows factory rear shocks to be used with lifts so that'll make them useable

I installed a Zone 4.5 on my '16 2wd this past week. I ordered the kit with the hydro shocks and they are bit stiffer than the factory setup but are not rough by any means. However, I plan on switching them out at some point with a set of adjustable Rancho RS9000's. I've had great luck with the 9000's on other GM trucks and my Jeep JK. I usually run them on full soft for daily driving and stiffen them up when towing.

 

I ran Fox 2.0's on my Jeep for about a week and switched them out. They were way too stiff on the street for my taste.

 

BTW, the Zone kit is great. I installed it in my garage with zero issues.

 

I'll get better pics but this is a quick one I took after the install:

Well, I got an answer from Fox. I asked if their 2.5 reservoir shocks would fit a 4-6" lifted truck.

Anyone got any deals on a zone 6.5 for a 2wd? About to pull the trigger on some Pro Comps 35x12.5x20s at 4wheel parts. I have the standard 5 spoke polished aluminum 20" wheels, will the pro comps fit that wheel (same wheel as the white truck in 2 posts above)?

 

Sorry stupid computer.... or operator

    • So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it. 
    • New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.  
    • Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
