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?

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

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

      The "source" a woman, that writes the article is not a far right person. She's pretty well known "car person". She writes her own stuff, but yes it is initially posted under the Blaze, because they purchased the right to post it first, before it is posted on her own sites. It doesn't mean the info is any less valid. the article itself is not political It's not meant to discount any current actions in the Iran   Only posted the link because that's what has to be done to be legal to post the article. The Blaze is not a site I use. Lauren Fix's page pointed me there and I have to use a bypass method to look at the article since I'm not about to join the site. I've posted articles over the years from the Lefty sites, seems you didn't have a problem with that.   But you do you, keep looking at everything only through left/right lenses.   The 3 or 4 of you that participate in the some of the comments had ample chance to read everything. Other members that don't care for it, send in comments, because as they will point out, political talk is discouraged. Both "sides" complain

      Would be cool if someone made something most people would like.   Like a plug in tune that is to the end users desire minus messing with the throttle petal factory settings. Sport, economy and WFOT.

      I don’t. The source is a far-right fake news site perpetuated by Glenn Beck. Funny how you clean up political posts and then regurgitate garbage from politically tainted sites.

      By txab · Posted

      Not a distraction. You miss the point of the article. It's not just for today's situation. Another way AI is being used and it may explain some of the prices changes when there is no apparent event to cause a 25 cent jump out of nowhere, only to immediately, the next day, begin to drop by 2 cents and so on. These situations were happening before the Iran thing fired off.   I used to be in the retail gas/service business. Pretty much a $1 increase in WTI would increase my price by maybe .10 cents. Now WTI can go down and retailers can get hit with a .35 cent increase out of nowhere.   I thought it was interesting read, since this is being used on all products we buy now
