Hey guys, this is probably the 100th post ive made about lift kits! Anyway im looking for a nice 4in or 6in lift (preferably with rear springs, not blocks) that's under $1000. Anyone have any ideas?

Also, if anyone has any pictures of their rides with a 4 or 6in lift, post a picture, and tell me about what you got. Thanks!

 

Good luck. The springs, not blocks is going to make her expensive

Luckily you don't have radius arms to up the price

 

I don't think you will be able to find an all spring lift for that price. If you want to settle for blocks you can get both a 4 or a 6 from rough country for under $1000. I plan on buying their 6" kit next summer.

 

even if you did manage to find a all spring kit for 1000$ (which i dotn think is possible) it most likely wouldnt include a bunch of stuff you would need..

most likely the 4 shocks/pitman arm..

id be afraid of any kit that was offered at a rock bottom price..

Maybe you can find a good used lift for the right price on craigslist or an online 4wd trading post. I picked up an 8" pro comp stage II lift (w/ radius arms and rear springs) for my 05 F-350 for $400. New it cost around 2k and was on the guys truck less than 10k miles. I checked everything to make sure it was there and installed it myself. It's just a suggestion. Ive seen lots of lifts out there for 99-04s on those sites.

 

how good is a Zone lift? I have looked into zone lifts and you can get a 4in lift with rear blocks for $850... i know it has blocks but this isnt a bad price for what it is.

 

I have never used Zone lift parts, but exactly as you state, for what it is, it is a deal.

I have used just about everyone's lift parts at one time or another over the last 30+ years, and among the SuperDuty lift manufacturers, there are definitely some standouts. Just like anything, you get what you pay for.

For what you are after the Zone parts will probably be just fine. Spend the couple extra bucks for the nitrogen shocks, it will be well worth it.

 

Here is what I did. I purchased 4 Pro Comp springs. Summit has them for $135 a piece for the front springs (4 inch), and $130 for the rear springs (6 inch). I bought the Zone adjustable panhard bar for $99, and a set of nitrogen Zone shocks for $40 a piece.

That totals in at $789 for that. I had about $50 in misc hardware. In the rear, I removed the 2" block and went with all spring. This actually left me with a rearward rake. I ended up putting the 2" block back in and now have a slight foward rake (this is what I like) with my cap on it. It netted me 4" of overall lift measured at the wheel well in the front.

To many to list.

 

Let me tell you that I have been looking for a lift kit for my 2005 SD for a while, I went with Zone 4' Lift they make a GREAT kit and very helpful with any questions you might have. Also its USA made and lifetime warranty. I did the install myself took about 6hrs including re-centering the steering wheel.

All my lift products on my truck are from Zone Offroad, and they make a great product. Their customer service is awesome, answered all of my questions promptly and really seemed to know what they were talking about. Granted rear lift blocks arent the best way to go, but I have tapered blocks on the back of my truck, and havent had any problems with axle wrap or drive shaft angle so far. Sure the ride is a little rough, but I expected that. The leveling kit I have installed in the front was more than I could ask for. The adjustable track bar was what sold me on their kit over anyone else. Kit went on with no problems, and looks great.

Bottom line...I would recommend Zone to anyone interested in lifting their truck for a decent price. Most cases you get what you pay for, but in my case I think I got a little more than expected.

 

thanks for the tips guys! after hearing all this about Zone, im seriously reconsidering my options, and ill definitely take a deeper look into Zone's products!
