Installed Zone Offroad leveling kit

[Rick65]

Hi. I haven’t seen much on here about the Zone Offroad kit so thought I’d post in case anyone is wondering about it. I just wanted to level the truck and this seems to have done it. The Zone kit gives you a 3/4” spacer you attach to the top of the strut and a 1/4” preload spacer which requires strut disassembly for a total of 1”. I didn’t want to hassle with a spring compressor so just used the 3/4” spacer on top. Ride feels exactly the same to me and measurements show it did raise it 3/4”. 245/65r17 tires.

Good to hear. Did they ever update their fitment information, when I looked into installing the spacer-only on my 2024 Lariat EB, they would not confirm, since they had not had a '24 in the shop to install and confirm. fit.

It looks the same to me, except for the missing decal.
Why do this? Is it just for looks or is there another reason?

No, their website is not updated. Also says does not require disassembly of the strut, which is not true if you want to install the 1/4" preload spacer.

I did it because it makes me like it better. I think it looks better. Same reason I cranked up the torsion bars on my old Nissan Frontier. Helps get rid of the factory rake that I don't like.

I know this is an older thread. Is this kit still available and did you do an alignment I have been looking for a rear lowering leveling kit and no one has made one. I would like to get rid of the truck rake with the least amount of modifications and cost.

I don’t know anything about lowering the rear but as far as I know this kit is still available through Zone Offroad. I didn’t do an alignment after install and haven’t noticed any issues but it probably did threw off the alignment a little. I just did the 3/4” part of the lift, not the spacer for the other 1/4”.
