I did mine in the driveway, by myself in 20-25deg weather and it took around 12hrs total split between Saturday-Sunday. Directions are extremely well written, I went down the list step by step checking them off as I went.

What lift did you do? Your sig says leveling, but the pic shows to have a larger spacer in the front..

So at the moment, im not sure when i will be able to do the install of the lift, maybe during the christmas holiday, but my home rebuilding is top priority, so i wanted to ask, since the all the boxes have been put in storage at the moment, does anyone have the instructions for the 6.5 Zone lift in PDF format? I looked on their site and was not available to download, id like to at least read thru the steps and make sure i already have and own the tools required.

 

Also i noticed that there was mention of minor welding required, can anyone tell me what welding is required? is it something on the truck or is it something that can be welded off the truck before installing(if there is really welding involved)

 

thanks

Just print it off the website. That’s what I did.

As for welding, it says it’s needed however it looks to be strictly cosmetic in my opinion. I have not welded mine, and honestly probably won’t.

is that on 35s or 33s?  I'm trying to get a hold of Zone because the website says you can only run 33s, unless you have a 20" rim.  I don't understand how the rim affects the size of the tire (especially because I'll be running an 18x9 or an 18x10).

33x12.5x20 - 20x9 with a 0 offset

No trimming what so ever, no rubbing what so ever. To go bigger I would need to at least trim front valance/bumper cause that is real close. Rest I think I’d be ok.

So just found the instructions and read thru quickly the steps required for the install.. I didnt realize there was so much cutting and little welding involved with the Zone lift (6.5") i thought that Zone was little to almost no modifications and others had full cutting and welding involved to install.. 

 

Are these cuts and welds specific to certain years? or across the year range that the lift fits? I dont mind doing it, but want to make sure i have everything needed and be prepared to make suchs cuts and welds within the time frame i have.

Trying to find a crew cab 6-1/2 bed with a zone 4.5" lift. And for installing the lift, how hard was it to do the cutting? Can a cutting wheel do it? And also for the welding part of it, can you weld it after its been installed or do it right away? I have access to a 2 post lift and have a buddy with a plasma cutter. Thanks

What do you guys think a used bds 6" lift with fox shocks is worth?  Not the coilovers, just fox shocks.  It has about 10k mikes of usage on it.

Someone was selling the same setup local for $1400. Still has not sold as of yet.

I ran the 2" Zone kit on my 2011 and put over 100,000 Miller on it with no issues. No ball joint problems and even had the original shocks and brakes.
I'm getting around to lowering my Bilsteins to half a inch lift and adding a 2" zone leveling kit to it. I'll have 2.5" lift in front and with my 3" blocks it should be high enough... For now.

If I did 100,000 Miller's I would have all kinds of issues.
