Zone is much better. If you don’t have stamped steel control arms you won’t need any spacer. Also make sure the spacer is lug/hub centric

So you think the cast steel should be ok without spacers and the stock 20s?

After doing some research I noticed that Zone lifts push the front wheels out a bit, regardless of offset/backspacing. Anyone have input on whether or not BDS does the same? I am really anal about stuff like that and don't want to have to add spacers to my rear wheels to make them even.  

 

Any help would be awesome!

BDS does also, in fact most all knuckle lifts do. BDS/Zone pushes the front wheels out 1.5” per side

So no matter what I'll be getting spacers if I want it even?

Pretty much. I believe CST is one of the only kits that doesn’t increase track width

Rough country sells “bracket and knuckle lifts”. A bracket lift is more money but doesn’t widen your front end.

That I agree with.  I'm not planning on beating the ever-loving piss out of mine.  However, I don't want a crap lift.  That said, I haven't seen anyone that has RCX complain about it, and they also have a lifetime warranty.  I have it narrowed to BDS/Zone or RCX. Now I just need to decide if I want to go with a bracket lift or a knuckle lift.  I just started doing my research on the bracket and have read both good and bad things about them.  I've also read good and bad things about knuckle lifts, as well.

Knuckle lifts hold up longer in the long run. Just run Bora 1.75 or 1.5 spacers in the rear and you'll be good

So bracket lifts don’t last as long? And I’d need a new driveshaft with a bracket lift, right?

Why do you have to run spacers? I don’t have them on mine? Honestly, I thought it would bug the crap out of me. It isn’t as bad as you think it’ll bed. Doubt anyone would ever say anything about it.

It looks like it’s dog tracking without them
