Been very happy with both my bds and zone lifts so far. You will really enjoy your lifted truck

Amp Steps are a must!!!!!! don't talk yourself out because of the price. Money well spent

Amp steps are the best option. Up and out of the way when you dont need them and then drop down lower than a regular step when you need them.

We got great pricing on them and usually have them in stock for anyone interested. Just send me a message for a quote

I gave Amp steps some serious thought but "embraced the chrome" that was already on my truck and went with OE looking polished stainless running boards. I went with the widest I could get (6") because with them on, I'll never have to worry about door dings in any parking lot. :)

I have the 6” BDS lift with 5” rear coils and Bilstein 6112 set to 2.6” front lift and Zone UCA. I added the UCA to bevon the safe side and just do everything at once. If you add Bilsteins or eibachs you discard the preload spacer. Since you mentioned Superlift, If you look at their 6” installation instructions you’ll see they have 2 options, one uses a preload spacer, the other uses Bilsteins w/o the preload, not both. The preload spacer is merely used so you don’t have a huge strut top spacer. Zone uses a 5” top spacer so without the preload just add your Bilstein or eibach height to that number to calculate your front lift height.
Here’s a few pics of my kit and suspension

That’s a really nice truck! Why do you have the rear trac bar in the upper hole of the relocation bracket? I’m just curious as my zone 6” front 5” rear lift kit calls it out to be in the lower of the 2 holes.

Per BDS instructions, with the 5" coils the bar is located on the top bolt, with 3" coils you use the lower hole. You should move yours to the upper hole, the zone instructions lack this info. You want to minimize the angle of that bar.
