Trailmaster vs Rough Country vs Zone

What is yalls oppinion.These are the three cheapest 6'' lifts I can find and cant decide between them.I have heard good things with Rough Country and Trailmaster,but have never heard of Zone.Does anyone have any experience with them? Im not building a beauty queen so I need something that will hold together.I am going to be running a body lift and 37x13.50 mud grapplers.I was planning on 38x15.5r18 but I am going to go 37's for now,I can always go bigger when these wear down.

I forgot to tell you that my truck is an 05 screw 4x4.I still cant find much on the Zone lifts but they offer a 6'' lift and 3'' body for less then 2K so Im leaning towards them right now.

I like the fabtech lifts but with these three I can get a 6'' susp. and 3'' body for less then it cost for the fabtech w/ adj coils.I know I can clear 37s with the fabtech and coilovers but with the 6+3 Im saving money and have room for bigger tires if I ever decide to go bigger.

I think one reason these systems are cheaper is because they do not offer new components like Struts and shocks. Everything is spacers and blocks... as far as I know.

I read somewhere that Rouch Country stuff is pretty good but manufacture 100% of there own product so bottom line to make the stuff is cut.

I got the 6" rough country kit shipped for $1250. Its really not a bad kit for the price, the fitment is good but im not a big fan of the 6" block for the top of the front strut... just my 2 cents..

Out of those 3 id go with the TrailMaster kit.

Its the most complete kit. it comes with a new front driveline, rear driver shaft spacer, kicker braces, new struts for the front, the other 2 kits dont.
