I think you can if you get more than the basic lift. i.e 6" struts instead of the 6" spacer thing.

You can do it with a zone but you'll have to get some bilstein struts to replace the spacer. Oh and by they way you'll love those Fierce Attitudes.

You most likely will NOT be able to put a 2.5" level on a Zone lift. It is the same as RCX in that it does not drop the cross members down a full 6". Ive only heard of some people doing a 1" daystar in top of a 6" zone and even then their CVs look terrible and they had problems with the control arm hitting the coil spring on bumps.

With a Fabtech, you absolutely CAN use your 2.5" level no problem. Your CVs will be at a steeper angle and still not great but definitely doable. There are a few guys on F150online that have done this and ran it for 4+yrs without a problem.
