Yes they make good stuff, fairly new into the game, but a few members run their kits.

Nothing wrong with Zone lifts at all. Sister company to BDS.

Would be nice if they made a more attractive crossmember that goes along the lines of the OE one like Fabtech's. Little details like that bug be, but for the price sure would be easy to get over.

I take it you saw these lifts on ebay as well, huh? I just saw them for a good price as well and I was curious as to whether they were good or not. Thanks for beating me to the punch in asking!

That would be awesome! Always nice to actually SEE what people are talking about. What are you going to do/did you do for your gears?

We just hired on a new guy at our shop a few months back that used to own his own shop and he said they put on a lot of zone lifts and he speaks pretty highly of the quality.
