Default RCX 5" Lift vs. Zone 6" Lift

i just bought my first truck and now I'm looking to lift it. I've done quite a bit of research but i cant seem to find if the zone or the rough country lift is better. the 300 dollar difference doesn't matter i just want the best lift. so if any one can tell me the pros/cons of each that would be very much appreciated. also i know zone is made in michigan, does anyone know where rough country is made?

If budget is concerned go with the Zone. 1 piece crossmembers for the win.

Sub'd! I'm curious too. To the op, rough country is manufactured in west Tennessee

I hear more about Rough Country than Zone. If I were going out and buying a lift I'd get a Fabtech.

I heard they were manufactured overseas, which kind of turned me off but if they are made in the US that's a plus

Did you install it yourself? If you did, how was it? I'd love to be able to install it myself and save $$$
