I personally like the look of the NTBD setup
Hanging bars with a dropped torsion bar is just asking for trouble Downerrr
There's nothing wrong with the 7.5 inch kit, where people dog on it is its way of reaching the full height, and compare it to the BDS 6.5
Yes, they are pretty much the same but the RCX comes in with a taller front end
Like comparing apples to apples....in this case your just comparing different types of apples
But as for the zone vs rcx....now your talking apples to oranges
All NTBD kits within a given lift range amongst different brands all do the same thing
So one "might" be a 1/16" thicker than another, doesn't it make it bad? Another thing people forget is shocks, if you have a certain brand of lift pushing a certain brand of upgraded shocks you MUST automatically think the lift is better right?
:thinkk
Only advantage I see with the zone, and I say ONLY *(since the bars hang down), is that the bars to the LCA's is the same basically making sure whatever GM paired up is the same, unlike a NTBD lift that offers a fancy bracket that ALSO acts as the jounce platform and shock mount. And that same bracket is what the bar slides into, and iirc I don't think I've ever heard of a bar rolling inside of a stock or aftermarket torsion bar socket whether it be a bracket or oem LCA
For the RCX, entertain the thought of the 5", less harsher angles, smaller block, same drop brackets for the diff and LCA's
Just my .02
I'm able to cut through the BS within the industry of choosing a lift, I heart suspension :grinn
Especially air ride :stir
Besides, not like any of these lifted trucks run like a truck with long travel suspension anyways
