    Decided im going to go with either of these lifts and just haven't decided which one.

    I first will be getting shocks to replace my stocks as I save up after my transition from the Marines to get the BDS or Zone, the those shocks will be bilstein 5100's front and rear. I've been on stock shocks for 10 years.

    The questions:

    I'm torn cause I see @fisherman951 is running stock bilsteins with his, and was wondering if you could upgrade a Zone with a coilover and specifically which one?

    If not can I run stock bilsteins with the BDS and which coilovers can I run with this kit? I know BDS makes one that is adjustable that is a Fox but didn't know the specific one.

    I also plan on getting camburg UCA and coachbuilder shackles.

    If anyone can help and post pics of what they have it would be great.

    This is a new @14burrito lol I felt like the other thread was going nowhere and away from what it was originally posted for.

    But after tons of deliberation and eye fatigue from staring at so many different kits and finding the best way, best pocket price, and look I'm going for with kids in the picture I've decided on these 2.

    Only thing to be aware of with the Camburg arms, they build in a lot of caster. Cam neutral, casters upwards of 7/8 degrees. This does not work well with every setup so make sure to do some research and ensure they will work with yours.

    I installed the 7” BDS kit with the fox 2.5 rr on 2013 tundra with no say bar and it road amazing. I bought it with the rough country lift already on it and the traction control would always kick on when I would try to run it into a corner too fast. The bds kit is really nice. I do know this about BDS. I originally bought the Fox BDS Coilovers to replace the spacers on my Rough Country lift but they wouldn’t work and would hit the steering that’s when I opted to buy the full kit. I do know you could run an OE style coil over set to minimal lift and just use th spacer they provide to get the lift

    on another note I do have a basically brand new set of Camburg UCA’s I’m going to sell if and when you’re ready.
