Zone 4inch vs BDS 4inch

Hi all, so I'm getting ready to lift the truck and throw on some new wheels and tires. I'm in between the Zone 4 inch lift and the BDS 4 inch RA lift. Basically I'm trying to see if the BDS is worth the extra money? I will be using the BDS Fox 2.0 aluminum shocks either way I go, I will not use the shocks that come with the Zone lift. The Zone lift is quite a bit less, and from I am told its the same company as BDS, so is it worth paying the extra for the BDS kit or will the Zone lift be just fine? My main thing is I do want to sacrifice ride quality, I will be using a dual steering stabilizer as well.

I plan on running Nitto Ridgegrappler tires 37x12.50x20 on a -18 offset wheel.

Thanks in advance for input!

Hey there, I don't have any experience with the Zone kits, but the BDS kits I've seen / used in the past have been top notch. They also carry a lifetime warranty. I actually just dropped off my truck to have the lift put in, I opted for the BDS 4.5" RA kit w/ Fox shocks. Went for Hostile 20x10 wheels, and 37x13.5x20 Toyo RT's. Cant wait to see the finished product.

I bought my lift from BDS for my 2000. I asked kinda the same question to them, they told me the only difference is the warranty. Zone has a short warranty, I forget the exact amount, BDS is lifetime from the original purchaser.

Stewy604, No worries at all... Just wanted to make certain i hadn't missed something. Would love to get your impressions and pictures on the BDS 4" as you're going to be running the same set-up i've been researching for the past couple weeks. I have my old 22x10 -24 with 37/13.5 Toyo MTs waiting to be put on.
