6 inch lift

[Halfdozen]

Bought a Northsky Blue 2019 Z71 LT about 6 months ago. Been looking for info on proper lifts , but they are hard to find on the net. Pulled the trigger on a zone 6 inch with HD PRO 1 20x11 on 35x12.50R20 ridgeline grapplers. Gets installed on In the next few days. If anyone is looking at a similar setup and wanting some info, stay tuned.

Just got it back late this evening. Kind of dark but here are some photos. (Photos or it didn’t happen). First impressions are pretty good. It has a great stance and is level. Handling and normal driving characteristics remain close to normal. Did not feel a dramatic loss in power by switching to the heavier and larger wheel/tire setup. Although I do have the 8 speed, which I believe helps keep the motor in its power band. I will post up more photos tomorrow.

How are you liking the zone I just ordered the 6” for my 19 1500 gmc

I like a lot so far. I spoke with the mechanic for a while last night when I picked it up. He had nothing but good things to say about it’s quality. He said the majority of lifts they install are RC. Said they weren’t bad lifts but the zone and BDS were noticeably better. ( quality in manufacturing and thickness of steel). 
Probably the biggest improvement I’ve seen besides the obvious, is the dampening. Not sure if you are planning to get the upgraded FOX shocks, but I chose to stick with the standard Zone off-road shocks. I had the Z71 ranchos that come stock and the annoying trampoline bounce I would get during certain situations is almost completely gone.  
What size wheels and tires are you going with?

Thanks for the info I got the standard shocks also going with 35 12.50r20 I currently have 33 12.50 on 20x9 with a leveling kit

Also how are the cv axle angels and how long did the install take?

Angles are good. No vibration with 4wd auto either. Everything was done in a day. Drop off at 8, pickup at 6.

No sweat. Remember, this is a true lift. It drops the differential to keep the cv axles within angle specs. And replaces the knuckle with a taller one to correct the upper control arm bushing geometry. This isn’t like e RC 3.5 lift, Which adds a spacer and replaces the UCA and no diff drop.
