Lift,wheels,Nito Grapplers A\T and Labor (Dealer did my lift and I sold them back my wheels and Tires) $2100. Good luck you have lots of choices just remember you get what you pay for.
Yeah I understand. I'm swapping out my shocks with bilstein 5100s and installing teraflex front lower and rear upper control arms. Then I'm going to do the disconnect sway bars and if I'm unhappy with my lift ill end up goin with a RK lift.

Good Shocks are a must have and I see you are swapping with good replacement parts. The Sway bar disconnects are just a convinience but worth it. I take it you already have your brake line extensions and relocation brackets from The Zone lift? If not things could go bad quickly if sway bars are disconnected and you get sexy flexi and rip out your brake lines. Hard to look cool after that. Thought I'd ask
Where you finding all the mix match lift parts?
You doing just suspension or body\suspension?

post some pics of your Frankenlift I wana see.

Well right now I have a 3" suspension lift from zone and that came with the coils, extended sway bars, and shocks, bump stops and brake line relocation brackets for the rear and mew mounts for the front. I'm leaving the coils on but replacing the shocks with bilstein and they came from www.offroadelements.com. I wanna replace the sway bars with disconnect just so I can get sexi flexi. Looking t get those through Quadratec. And the control arms I, getting are through a guy on this forum that he used briefly and are teraflex. I want longer brake line relocation brackets and extensions also. Here's some pics how it sits right nw. Will post more as I put the parts on.

I paid around $700 and another $400 for the install but I traded my stock wheels and Tires back to the dealership for 34" Nitto's and black Aluminum V-tec wheels total was $2100 includes shocks,front coils as rears are reused brake line extensions sway bars adjustable trackbars and relocating brackets something like that. that was for the 4"-2" lift and not the 4" lift requiring geometry changes involving the drivelines and everything that goes with a bigger lift.

Here are a couple pics of front with the quick disconnects and some gratuitous sexi flexi

Ok cool yeah I'm going to keep my coils on and get front lower and rear upper control arms and get someone who knows more what they're doing to do the caster and pinion so it's right. Then get away bar disconnects and brake line extensions with brackets.

I have that same lift "zone" with no issues no noise no problems. Did you install it or someone else? I don't see springs and shocks making noise unless there defective or bad install job.

To the person above Zone is made by BDS.
