You should do the 2.8 if you’re going to do 1.5 in rear. I’ve done the 2.8 with 1.5” Icon rear coil springs and I have just a slight rake. With 2.1, you’ll be sitting like the factory rake.

I have the Zone Offroad ones. Probably didn’t need them but it’s peace of mind.

Hmm those are identical to the heavy duty ready lift but lot cheaper. Yeah I'm just being future proof I hope since I should have this truck for atleast 5 year lol

Yes, I think they are ready lifts design. I’m glad I saw Zone’s first.

Did you install spacers in the rear? If so, how high?



I have not yet. I still have all blisten to get and zone uca. And decided to throw in airlift 1000s while I'm in there. I'm slowly grabbing everything as it's on sale. Need to measure my rake as my factory doesn't look too high to me.

I’ve got a ‘14 with 2.8” up front and 1 spacers in the rear, running a set of 295/65R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Got a little camber issue that can’t be corrected with an alignment, so the tires wear just a little unevenly. Thinking about dropping my front down to 2.1”. Stock control arms btw.

that seems odd that they can't correct the camber. from all my reading, no one else seems to have that issue.

Ya you need to find an alignment shop that deals with lifted trucks, not one that just punches in the factory setttings. Maybe call a offroad shop and see who they use

Currently set @ 2.1 w/ 6" Zone lift & Zone Upper Arms. Currently have 10,000km on them, will be setting it @ 2.8 now that things are settled and worn.

Worked perfectly @ 2.1, and now that I have a winch bumper that will be installed soon, the extra weight will sag so I will be maxing it out (if it sags too much then I will be getting coilovers)
