Curious I would like to know also. Just installed my Bilsteins at 2.1 no vibration in 2wd but haven't tested it in 4wd yet so not sure if mine has vibration.

I searched alot and can't find anyone that has used either kit. I found only 1 person who used the zone offroad kit but it was only the spacer and upper control arm...so i ordered the truxxx kit.

IT drops the diff but what about longer knuckles? Curious as to how this would work

There's no way it'd work, the UCA would be at a crazy angle, don't see how any ball joint could last

i figure the worst the could happen is i try and find knuckles or put just a 2.5 inch level kit in with there drop brackets. truxxx website say that you can return it also.

so i have the lift in now. the lift used a preload spacer with a tiny strut spacer. cv angles are perfect and ball joint angle is not bad at all. but i am now getting a binding sound when turning right and accelerating. feels like the drive line. any ideas?
will take pictures of the lift tomorrow in the light.

Doesnt look like 4" of lift but looks good everywhere else! Is everything tight and torqued to spec? Binding is usually a CV

it doesnt look like 4" because for some reason it only lifted it just over 2". everything is tight. im taking it back to the place that installed the lift to double check everything
