Thanks for the compliments.

From what I understand the Zone lifts are the same lifts with the exception being the strut spacers. I have very very little down travel now as it sits, the Zone spacers and level tack welded together. I was planning on ordering custom length coilovers to replace the current setup and keep the height. Which is still an option with a different height but not as cost friendly.

I emailed Zone trying to gather options and ideas, and I asked about the difference in the lifts and how tall the spacer is for the 4" lift. The spacer for my 6" lift is 5" tall. So in my mind if the spacer for the 4" lift is 3" tall then I could achieve a 4" lift with 0-3" coilovers and have no spacers.

Ah I see where your going but I think the coilovers are designed for 0-3" at the wheel. To get 4" I think you would have to add a 1" leveling spacer to the Boss coilovers.

What you are saying makes sense. I guess it's going to depend on what Zone says. If the spacer for the 4" lift is only 3" tall then the c/o's should work. If not then I'll just order the new spacers and plan on custom length c/o's.

Been struggling with wheel decisions all day. I have been thinking about 20x9 Fuel Full Throttle black/milled +01. Can't decide if I want to stick with chrome or go with a black wheel.

Wheels and a new 3" block have been ordered. Removing the leveling kit and 5" block. Keeping the 6" lift up front and keeping the add-a-leaf. Going with 20x10 -12 this time. 20x12s will be for sale soon.

I'm undecided if I truly like this look better than the previous. I do enjoy the smooth ride though. I have some plans for July/August when someone releases a new bumper for this body style, I think the black wheels and look in general will flow much better then.
