Here is mine. 4" Rancho with 295/65/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers. Perfect height and awesome ride.

Did you have to trim a lot to fit the 37s?

I have the zone lift and love it. They are a sister company of BDS. There are a few others I know of that have zone on the forum and they are happy as well. I'm running the 6 inch kit with 35x12.5 on a 20x10 -18 offset.

Yea I'll grab some for ya. Keep in mind I'm running bilstein 5100s at .75" in the front so I might be slightly higher. My fiancé is 5'6 and she does ok for the most part. Thinking some power steps will be in my future though.

Wheel size, bs, and offset will play a factor on if you have to trim or not. I had some minor trimming with my -12s.

yes we did. We are upgrading this lift with a set of coil overs so that we will clear the 37s easily. We will post that info very soon.

Not at all, but I'm looking for a little more performance out of my suspension now. Personally, I've run procomp and Fabtech products in the past and had them fail so for that alone I do not use them. As far as the lift size... Just do the 6. You know you want to. Bds, rancho, rcx are all great options. Here's a few pics of mine. It's even a 157wb to give you an idea.
I agree. I have the RCX 6" as well. I've had absolutely no issues with it. I'm running bilstiens as well, set at 1.5". It's all in how much you wanna spend, and how big you want to go. Do you want to get up to 8.5"? Leave it at 6"? You want coil overs or are you content with a spacer lift. There's a hundred different factors to consider. Here's mine, 6"RCX with the bilstiens set at 1.5" in front, 3" performance accessories body lift, 22x14's and 325/50/22's. There's room for 37's. There's a new set of wheels and tires in the works for next yr
