Rough Country vs Zone?

RyanD · May 18, 2015

Need opinions. Looking at both of these as a base platform to build the suspension on. Likely would do the radius arm drop kit first, then upgrade to 3 or 4link in the future. Also would probably run the included shocks until I upgrade to Fox. Wondering about opinions as to which would be better to "start" with.

My opinion.. I'd go Rough Country.. Ive dealt with them in the past and was happy. I don't know anything about zone..

Zone is made by BDS, I have a rough country and I'd go zone. I replaced literally everything but a few of the hard parts on this kit, the ride was terrible, and it made tons of noise. Carli coils and rear leaves, fox shocks. Way better now.

Zone for sure

Ive been using some Zone kits and adding Fox shocks and they have been good. I use RCX too and they have been good. Either way i think your getting about the same setup.

Let me know if you need pricing.

Zone over Rough Country!! Done both Kits Several Times and Zone has better Quality and never missed a Bolt or part. Last 2 Rough Country Kits we did, were missing parts and held us up.

Thanks guys. By some stroke of pure luck, I found a local guy who had just pulled a Radius arm Zone kit with Fox 2.0s off his truck with about 4500 miles on it. He let me rob him blind for $900. So, next up is to gather a good dual stabilizer, then start squirreling cash away for tires.

Zone for sure I've installed a ton of them very simple install everything lines up fine put a 6" on a 2015 customer couldn't tell the difference from stock. Plus the price I think is reasonable. But I've also done quite a few rough country's but I put those on jeeps. Jeep had a rougher ride but I thinks that normal

I just put a zone 4" on my 08 about a month ago. Using their nitro shocks and I can't tell the difference from stock. I could use maybe another 1" in the rear though as the front looks like it sits a bit high.
