I will. I’ve got my lbds lift and vertex coilovers just sitting waiting to be installed. Haven’t had time to take the truck in yet. Will hopefully be done in the next month or 2

Nice. Are the Vertex coilovers just a drop in replacement for the stock struts without using the BDS spacer?

They are a Coilover for 5.5-6.5” inches of lift. They don’t use the strut spacer

Yours have good sidewall, and they're 35" pretty much on the nose.
I'm gonna remember that size

I did a 6” Zone with Bilstein 5100’s in the rear on my ‘17 Lariat Screw Eco. I did not do the UCA’s since the factories are perfectly fine unless your going to do some serious off-roading. Drop kit is only needed if you have a 2 piece drive shaft which I have a single. I didn’t do the coilovers one for price and two I think the factory fronts ride perfectly fine. I’m running 37/12.5/20 ridge grapplers on 20x9 +1 Fuel’s.

I did the Zone because they are a sister company to BDS so the make, quality, warranty etc is identical. Just not as fancy with the front bracket, Zone is just a straight piece where BDS has the laser cut letters in it.

^truck looks awesome!

But fyi, no one has warranty like bds. Zone warranty is similar to rough country warranty. But is still limited. Meaning if you break something from being stupid, like racing, they won’t cover it. With bds, if it breaks, and you’re the original purchaser, they replace it. That’s was the big reason I went with bds. Plus I figure, when lifting a truck with an msrp >50K, maybe going with the lowest price might not be the best bet. I’m not saying it wrong. Not wrong at all. But my piece of mind is worth a little extra.
