I am looking for a lift kit for my 08 GMC Sierra CC. I really liked the fabtech 6" lift kit with the coilovers but with a price tag around $2600 :rolleyes: . I see that they have a basic 6" system thats just over a grand but I'm not sure how it will perform. I am wondering what your opinion is on the best lift kit for the NBS Sierra. I am wanting to run a 35x 12.50 tire. This is my first 4wd truck and my first lifted truck so I really need some advise.

 

Also I will be using the truck to tow a UTV to my deer lease and to drive around but won't be doing any extreme offroading or rock climbing.

I've researched this for a long time. I decided that Superlift and BDS are the best bang for the buck. From what I heard the Zone lift seems to be pretty good and the couple of people on these forums that have them have not had problems yet. I ordered my superlift yesterday with the replacement front struts. If I had the money I would go with a CST, or Fabtech. Just my $0.02.

Stick with Fab-Tech, Rancho or the handful of other "major" brands on the market. The couple hundred you save on the China brand works out to a couple bucks a year over the life of the truck. You pay a little extra and that's because you are paying for the research and development behind their product. Those smaller companies, whether made in China or not, do not have the precision behind the scenes tooling that the benchmark suspension companies have. The FabTech lift on my 03 Tahoe is problem free at 80,000 miles and the Rancho kit I just put on my 07 NBS Silverado is solid as can be. And there is an actual English speaking person that answers the phone at FabTech and Rancho. They have the capital to make it through the tough times so I know they will be there if I should have any issues.

Have you called Zone Offroad and spoke to anyone that doesn't speak english?

Iv got the 6" Pro Comp and my truck still rides like it was stock even with my 35's! Although I am going to get the coil over upgrade which I was told will make the ride even nicer and actually lift it another maybe 1.5 :cool:

I wanted something similar, so I went with a leveling kit and zone offroads 1.5 body lift...couldn't be happier...and for the price, you can't beat it. I posted pics on a different topic...

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
