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

Anyone running the fabtech or ready lift 4” kits wth new uca’s to correct angles? Any thoughts on these kits?  Thanks

No good, the kits do nothing for the TRE or lower BJ angles.

Ah okay. Looked too good to be true but I see so many companies offering the kits I wasn’t sure. I like the zone 4.5” but really want to run my stock wheels and you can’t on those

both kits are great and they are the same company. Zone is the more "generic" kit which utilizes the stock struts/coils whereas BDS has replacement struts or fox coilovers, although you can run fox with the Zone too. (Fox owns BDS and Zone)

 

I have 33s on the Zone 4.5

You CAN run stock wheels depending on which control arms you have.

Alright.... last question about the 4.5" kit.... will I be able to run 35s without having to do extra trimming in my inner wheel well?

I had to do so with 33" so yeah, 35" will definitely require trimming with a 4.5".  I didn't cut but, did zip-tie.

Do you know if 0 offset would clear on stamped steel uca’s?

What is your wheel/tire set up that you had to trim a 4.5" kit with 33s?!

There was just enough contact to tie the liners back.
