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

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.

      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

      Disable AFM for $0: The M5 Method for 6-Speed Trucks

      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.

      Gas Prices

      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
