I have the Zone 4.5" and love it. I upgraded to bilstein 5100s in the front and fox 2.0's in the rear and it literally rides better than stock. it's a smooth, yet firm ride thats very controlled. 

I hope it rides better than stock lol. I've got the "chevy shake" and this things rides like crap. I was hoping getting new tires would help it out some. Dealership already did the transmission software update, so I don't know if it's bad tires (been road force balanced) or the TC.

Kept the spacer in the front? Did you leave the 5100's at stock height?

I just bought a 2018 and had 2 tires replaced almost immediately because of a 'shake', all 4 were road force balanced.  Still have a shake, but now its a high frequency shake like it's the driveshaft or driveline. 

Probably going to take it back soon and see what they say.

 

*EDIT* They replaced the LF and RR tires because they couldn't get them to road force balance.  It took the 'hop' feel out of the truck but now I have a rhythmic, pulsing vibration.  I'm curious to find out what, if anything resolves your issue.

I’m heading in next week for an oil change and a list of stuff to check (mostly transmission clunking while downshifting) but I’ll let you know if they fix any of them

I hadn't read any of this when I bought the truck.  I have a pretty good relationship with the Service Writer I deal with and I thought he had lost his mind when I took it in for what I thought was tires out of balance and he was checking the transmission software and torque converter out.  That tells me he's well aware of *something* going on so when I go back we're going to figure it out or figure out how to make it right. 

 

I plan on putting a 6" lift on this truck but I won't touch it until this issue gets straightened out or I get a truck that doesn't shake.

Exactly I’m not doing anything until it’s fixed, but in saying that, this is the last time I have it looked at (this will be trip #3). Next will be a ram 1500

Can anybody share some recommendations or wheel/tire setups to run with a 2.5” Rough country leveling lift?

 

I am going crazy trying to figure out a setup I can run without rubbing or trimming much. Would like a slightly aggressive stance, no more than 1” outside the wheel well.
