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

Truck we built out of the shop. 2019 3500. 7.5" Rough Country, 3" body lift, 40x15x22 Nittos on 22x12 TIS wheels. Normally it's not my style but loved how it turned out!738dc727bb5074fd429e34bf4c8731bc.jpg

Beautiful, makes me miss my DMax, looks like you deleted all the fixings on the panels leaving the grocery cart protection only

We are happy with it, can't even tell the body lift is there till you look hard. Everything had come a long way. Now someone just needs to buy it! The door moldings are a pain to get off. Too much risk of paint damage, especially on black.

Hey fellas and ladies! Been a while since I’ve been in here.... a long while. My Zone 6.5” kit has been on for ALMOST 8 months, but I’m already itching to upgrade it a bit. I’m looking into 6-8” coil overs that won’t break the bank, and also looking for something to help get rid of the awful looking block in the back. Here are some pics of the ride. ed87a3acf7d99f6e9270c9be43914a7f.jpgf99e90df4414e039c5ad66150c499860.jpg5e74e2e201cf5c023cf69d8f1a2c883a.jpg

Keep in mind if you get a 6-8” Coilover you can’t/shouldn’t run them past 6.5”. The Zone kit is a 4.5-6.5” kit so at 6.5” it’s maxed out. Truck looks good also

Thanks, man! I was planning on running it at 6.5”. I just want to keep the ride height I’m at now, so I figured a 6-8” coilover would help.

The Fox DSC Coilovers from the bds kit would fit perfectly

Looks nice! I don't know if they sell it separately but when I got the BDS kit I opted for the full rear leaf pack instead of the block. I think the up-charge was around $400 or so. I think it still sits on the stock block, so you may have to get those if you didn't keep your old ones. My fender height went up 5 1/4" from stock and sits just below the front after the BDS 6" lift (less than 1/2", but I almost always have some weight back there pulling it down too). Install might be interesting, I guess the shop I went to hadn't done many of them and didn't realize the mounting bolts for the leaf springs all have something right behind them (tow package, gas tank, don't remember exactly). They didn't outright say it but I got the impression there would be a bit of an installation upcharge for the next one of those that they do.

No I don't. But it did increase the track width ~1.5" in front. I have had bad experiences with spacers on performance cars in the past, so not sure I want to go down that road again. For now, it doesn't bother me enough to worry about it.

If you had a choice to change anything about doing a lift what would it be and is it rough riding?

Well I bought the truck with the lift already installed from a dealership that specializes in performance cars and lifted trucks. I think it rides better than my Ford Explorer, but not as good as my wife's Lincoln MKZ. So I think it's fine for what it is, I have no complaints at all about the way it rides.

Fabtech Gen 2 kit is a great choice! Did not widen track width! Quality products!

What did your overall height end up being? I know it fits in your garage because of the pictures posted but have you had it in any parking garages. Waiting to see what the tires do too, if they rub with the factory wheels.
