So here in the near future I plan either a level on the front and the rear with all new shocks, or an all out 3-4 inch lift. I see that Zone Offroad has a 2.5" spacer for the front and a 2" block for the rear, but it doesn't come with shocks, and I am not exactly to keen on stacking blocks. I don't want to break the bank, but I also don't want to put myself or anyone who rides with me in danger, so am I better of just to do the front spacer from HBS or TGC, or Rough Country offers a 2.5" front spacer with a 1" rear block and 4 shocks for less than Zone Offroad.

I personally have a dislike for Zone. I would recommend Rough Country. But that is just me.

I like rough country, but their 3" comes with 2" blocks for the rear, and I really don't want to stack blocks at all. I wish Rough Country offered an add a leaf instead.

I have both the rough county and the Zone. I only used the spacer up front for the level. I didn't bother with the blocks in the rear. But stacking blocks is a bad idea. Both zone and rough country are about the same to me. Rough country looks a little more smooth than the zone but both installed great!

They should be lift blocks that replace your rear blocks not go on top

I started with the zone 2.5 and a skyjacker add a leaf before I went to 5" lift. Works good. However daystar spacers are much nicer. I have one now and it's got a urethane bushing that the spring sits in so the spring isn't sitting on the metal on spacer better fit and less chance for noise. However I never had any problems with the zone one.

Thanks all, I am looking at the daystar comfort ride 2.5" level and 4 new shocks. Does anyone know if it's worth buying the daystar shocks with the level? I personally would rather have rancho or bilstein but if the daystar shocks are decent, then i will just get them. Also, since the daystar is a urethan spacer, do I need to worry about it squatting down over time?
Thanks
