BDS or ZONE what's the real difference?

[Ryan698]

I've been looking at the same kit but with the 4" block. I haven't seen any options to switch that, did you call them? Your truck looks good, were you able to fit 35s?

I have the Zone 4.5 on my truck, and I have the 6.5 parts sitting on the workbench ready to go on. I tow with my truck so I need some rake built in for my needs. I like the Zone because it has some rake but not nearly as much as the factory stance.

 

The truck will ride like stock since the suspension geometry is being maintained. The only item that will affect the ride is the rear shock you choose. I'm running the hydro rear shocks.

 

Also, strut spacers get a bad name because of their use in cheaper lift kits. Utilizing a strut spacer is actually a practical way to achieve lift as long as the suspension geometry is corrected (i.e. control arm, tie rod, sway bar and CV angles). The more expensive kits include parts (CA drop brackets, taller spindles, sway bar drop brackets) to correct this and therefore cost more.

 

My truck with a project I brought home the other day:

Well the zone lifts 1700cnd and bds is 2700cnd I do think the actual front shock replacement is nicer then pucks and the warranty seems pretty solid but I could go with zone save a 1000 bucks and just buy some bilsten 5100 shocks for the front can't you and just do away with the pucks?

Which BDS dealer are you going through in Canada??

 

I'm also in Canada, and the only one listed near me is in the Toronto area I believe.

If you go on Google and type in bds Canada they are in BC and have everything listed on the site. I'm also going to talk to my dealer I think because they tell me they do alot of bds lifts and maybe they can set me up on a good deal

I'm in Ontario. The closest to me is near Toronto, but their site is horrible and they don't list anything. I'm thinking shipping across the Country would be pretty pricy if I ordered from BC. What's the name of the dealer?

Yeah. I see the site with the pricing. I'm assuming this is retail though. So if you're nice to your dealer, they should be able to get you a better deal. Because their cost is not going to be retail for sure. Unless of course BDS doesn't sell for anything less than retail. Hard to believe they would though.

I think I was quoted 3000 or 3200 for the lift installed and with an alignment the cheap ready lift was I think 2100 installed

Which kit was that? They have multiple 4" lifts, but the cheapest one for 2014-16 Sierra 1500's, is $3200 retail from their site.

 

I'll have to give them a call to see if they have changed anything for the 2017 kit. It's not listed on that site.

I'm talking about pricing my gmc local dealer went over with me for the lifts. They stocked a ch approach ready lift installed for 21/2200 and the bds was around 3200 or so I believe

Is jump all over that $3200 installed if I were you. That sounds very reasonable considering the prices on the BDS Canada site.

 

Keep us in the loop on how you make out.
