Zone 6" Lift 2011 Ram

[Musclemckeester]

I'm with you, I like a clean install. Since I don't have the heated/cooled seats I've just got an empty slot so I'm wanting to give this a shot. Plus I'll keep this truck for a while so I'll likely have more things added that will need switches.

 

[Mad Cow]

Yeah I hear you. I am still looking for new options on the internet also. I'll let you know if I find any.

 

[Musclemckeester]

Sounds good, I appreciate that.

 

[Mad Cow]

Thanks Scott.

 

[The Assassin]

Awesome! I LOVE my Zone kit!

 

[Mad Cow]

I paid $700 for the flares and painting and installed. My last truck was about $215 to get the flares painted.

Hey Dan does your lift rake any?

 

[Mad Cow]

Hey Scott do you have any pictures of your front shocks? I am wanting to see what the bilsteins look like in the front.

 

[Mad Cow]

Sweet Thanks Scott. It looks great I think I will go that route in the fall.

 

[jasonLmarsh]

WOW look how straight those front axles are!!! Do you have much difference in front/rear fender height? I'm wondering if the ZONE kit lowers the front differential more than the Pro Comp kit. Any way you could get some pictures of the front differential brackets?

 

[Mad Cow]

i'll take some pictures for you tomorrow Jason. Scott that is a good idea. I just got my lights installed so I'll take some pictures and post them up soon.

That looks good. I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind. Which Zone lift did you go with, the one that raises the rear 3 inches or the one that raises the rear 5? It's hard to tell, but it looks like there is still rake on your truck. Also, what size tires did you go with?
I am wanting to go with a 6 inch lift and some 35's on my Sport, and the price on the Zone Lift is pretty good. Plus, everything I have read so far has been good. I just want to make sure I get the right lift, as I want the truck to sit as level as possible. Thanks!!

I went with the 5" rear. I do have a rake look right now, but I will swap out for bilestine 5100 series shocks in the fall for a lift like Scott has. I saw a 2011 with the 4" zone lift and his truck looks tiny next to mine. The ride of this lift is awesome though. I would recommend the Zone lift but if you go with the 5" rear get the bilestines for the front.

Sorry I forgot to take pictures I will take some soon just wanted you to know I am not blowing you off. I am working on a college paper that is due tomorrow so my day has been not fun.

Great, just what I needed, MORE MONEY TO SPEND.
This place is going to break me.

no sweat man, you gotta take care of the priorities first

When you can get a pic I'd really like to see the differential from the driver side. I'm looking for the drop brackets, and also where the driveshaft mounts to it (there should be a spacer there). I've looked at mine quite a bit, and if I want to drop it any lower, I'm going to have to get some exhaust work done first. My driveshaft is about 1/8" above the exhaust, so I can hear/feel it if I hit a bump while turning. Did your lift require any exhaust modification?

Here's mine:

 

[Mad Cow]

I will take a pic as soon as I can. I got a hit and run this morning so I am dropping the truck off at the shop this afternoon. I'll see what I can do before I go.

 

[jasonLmarsh]

Oh damn! I hope everyone is ok and the truck isn't too damaged!

 

[Mad Cow]

Thanks only damage is to the fender flare and the impression it made on the fender. I should be back up to normal in a few days.

Bids went out today on some Adjustable shocks for the front. What can I say I like being on the up and up.
