Has anyone had any experience with this company or using this Kit?

Zone and BDS is the same company. Never used that lift but they make a quality product with great support

Has anybody used this kit as I am interested in it since it is a top mount system and may not interfere with the CV as bad? ?

I'm in the fence between this and the Rough Country AT4 leveling kit

I'm actually doing the same thing but seem to be leaning toward the Zone kit as all the spacers are at the top of the strut. The Rough Country kit still uses spacers at the bottom that will put the strut closer to the CV boot.

its a couple of aluminum spacers.....I don't see how they could be all that different from company to company....maybe the type if its lower or upper but really these seem very basic.....

Had the zone level installed this past week and the front is now one inch lower than the rear so right where I wanted it. No problems so far. 35x11.50 ridge grapplers

Looks great! I actually ordered mine on 6/17 but haven't heard anything yet so I guess I am going to have to call to follow-up.

I ended up using the ready lift 1.75” leveling kit. Would recommend since it comes with a better UCA to correct the weird angel most leveling kits cause. Just installed 295/70/18 and will post pics shortly.

FWIW, I installed the Rough Country leveling kit on my 2019 AT4 and there are no clearance issues with the CV boot.  LOTS of clearance.  Make sure you put the bolt heads up when installing the lower strut mount bolts.

I just had the Zone Leveling Kit installed. I also had upper control arms replaced as well. Still on Stock wheels and tires :(

nice! I just ordered the zone 6.5 kit. Just replaced my struts but thinking about replacing my control arms/ball joints and tie rod ends when I do the lift. I just am torn between paying $500 for zone or cognito control arms. Did zone come with the ball joints or did you have to buy that separately also? I just don't see a viable alternative to them besides stock..

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
