hello everyone Brad here with custom offset got up so lifts and levels this is a
little something different I guess I mean we use you're doing BDS but we got
a close second here this is a zone kit this is going to be their six and a half
inch kit for 2014 and up GM 1500 trucks pretty similar to the BDS kid in many
ways meaning the knuckles are the same same differential drops etc stuff like
that it's a different thing with the zone kit is there's no new lift straps
struts up front we're going to use the strut spacers so you can be reusing the
factory struts with the spacers on top lower control the excuse me lower
control arm drop cross members are a little different in the sense that
they're just kind of plain Jane looking they'll make high clearance cross
members or anything like that still just as functional same amount of drop and
everything like that they're just simply more plain that's why the kids less
expensive we got our CV spacers here CB XL spacers because this kit does and
increase the front track with about one and a half inches per side a nice thing
that zone does here as well as BDS is they brace the front differential here
with this added brace will actually tie in between the two cross members they
have another little tying piece here that runs between the lower control arm
drop cross members there's the optional they call the skid
plate it's really like the splash guard that would replace where the plastic
factory one is on the truck it does come so that the kit does come with the
differential skid plate here that's the optional one that you can buy
for the zone kit and the back is just going to get blocks like you'd expect
the new u-bolts and we got some sway bar drop downs here as well and then
getting Fox 2.0 is in the back normally these kids are supposed to come with the
Fox adventure series shocks but Fox has dropped the ball and decided to really
mess up production on the facts of interest restock shock so they haven't
been available for the longest time so we've since been we've replaced pretty
much that option with the 2.0 series Fox event Fox 2.0 performance series shocks
which is the aluminum smooth body shock that you would normally get in the BDS
kit actually still say BBS on them so that's something that we changed
ourselves on our kits because Fox just wasn't coming through for us so we're
gonna go ahead and get installed on the truck
alright guys so we got the zone this is the six and a half inch kit this is
gonna be the biggest gift zone makes for these trucks we got all installed here
on the truck so you can see all the components as they are installed
obviously you got your new steering knuckles here the lower control arm drop
cross members like I said before the thing with the zone kit they use an
upper strut space there as opposed to like a BDS kit which will use the
replacement strut just in one of the ways they keep the cost down to make
those own kits more affordable got your sway bar drop brackets here so you can
see the sway bars are nice and level which is a good thing new sway bar end
links as well those gonna be longer than the factory ones you can see the
differential drops here is a key component to any lift kit really to
bring the front differential down to make PCB axles and a nice level there
where they're not going to be binding up from too much lift you see the
differential skid plates in here crossmembers everything like that that's
pretty much really the main components up front here
I don't think there's anything else oh you can see this is the optional splash
guard as we mentioned I believe it's a $67 option just to get this little zone
piece here from the factory this had a plastic little piece so it's nice to get
that if you'd like it and then in the back nothing special
same stuff we always see pretty much just going to be blocks in the back and
then new u-bolts BOM stop relocations to bring the bump stops down with Fox 2.0
and the rear as opposed to regular Fox adventure series and then the only other
thing is the brake line relocation brackets you see it moves the brake
lines up and these aren't tight which is good and that's what it's designed for
the only other thing is then you relocate the B brake cables as well you
can see normally this cables up here they just have you move it so
everything's not being bound up and really that's about it for the zone six
and a half inch kit on for 14 and up 1500 Chevy and GMC
