My dad bought this lift for his 2016 1500, but he ended up buying a camper and doesn’t want to tow with a lift, so I was thinking about putting it on my truck, a 2009 1500. Both 4x4s with 5.7s. Kit says for 13-18, will it fit the 2009? I’m not familiar with any suspension changes that may have been made but I assumed it was all the same gen so it should fit ‍♂️
It’s the 3” rear springs option with HD upper control arms and fox adventure shocks.

What's different are the provisions for power steering vs electric steering.

Found it. Forgot about the front diff being different. You need the old style drop down brackets for the AAM front diff.

"Unique to this system from the 2009-2011 models is an updated differential relocation system specifically designed for the newer front differential housing. A differential skid plate is included for added strength and protection for trips off the beaten path."

So if I get the different brackets it should work? In which case, where could I buy those?

Dare I say hit up [email protected]! He's always been a go to for parts on this forum


Yup. Everything else is the same! Enjoy!
I PMed him and he said I'd need "2 tie rods, diff spacers, driveshaft spacer, etc" and quoted me $900 for all of it. Is all that really necessary? Whatever the case I'm certainly not paying another $900 on top of the $2000 for the original kit.

To clarify to everyone. Zone will not sell the parts needed separately. You need to get the boxes that the needed parts are in to get what is needed. That is why the price is so high as there will be more parts purchased than just what is needed.
