Well I've finally decided on my build. Made an appointment for this Friday to get the lift installed. Going 6" zone with 5" rear coils and bilsteins at 2.1. Wheels and tires will be in next Tuesday. Went with 20x12 Ballistic Rages wrapped with 35x12.5 Atturo Trail Blade MTs. I'm like a freaking kid on christmas.

did you upgrade the UCA's? Or did you leave them stock?

Dropped it off today. Will pick up tomorrow. Wheels and tires may be in by Monday. I sure hope so.

I have the same lift with the bilstein set to 2.1 and I love it. This is my 3rd lift from zone and they're awesome. You won't be disappointed. Don't forget to post pics of the finished product!

I went with a 4" lift with 3" rear coils... so, same ratio as you, but my bils are at 1.4". I'll be curious to know what your fender measurements are after the work as mine is dead level in all 4 corners. I would think you might be a tad nose high with 2.1". I hope not, and good luck. Post pics and measurements.

He'll have 2 more inches of rear lift than you. Bils set @ 2.1 should have him level or a little rake. Where the 4" kit is a true 4, the 6" kit is like 5.5? I have this exact set up, and I prob have 3/4" rake still.

Hey! With the 5" rear springs, will you be close to leveled? Or is that easier to achieve with the 3" rear springs? Going with the 6" from Zone this summer too, hence asking.

Depends if you want to run bilsteins or not. Without Bilsteins you want to go with the 6/3 kit. This will level you out. If you want a bit more out of it you can run bilsteins at 2.1 and a 5" coil in the rear.

Hit a road block. Discount tire is now refusing to sell me the wheel and tire package as atturo states that the wheel is too wide. Looked up every 35x12.5 and none of them are approved for a 12" rim yet they run everywhere. So as it stands right now I have no wheels and tires.

Well it is all gonna work out. Instead of the atturos I'm now getting a Cooper STT Pro 35x13.5r20 for nearly the same price. So way better tire that will actually probably last longer.

Attached is the photo of the strut assembly. It appears the ship installed the preload spacer. Is this correct. I thought with Bilstein 5100s you weren't supposed to install the preload.
