You should get a Zone body lift not PA. some better components for the same price (I paid $320 including shipping). The trail grapplers seem to be the best aggressive tire on the market (and the MT MTZ) that you can drive 40-50k miles on AND quite

Matt, I know your a big fan of the zone lift from what i have seen on some of your other posts. But i've also seen on here that the PA seems to be the most popular. And the local shop highly recomends it. Do you know of a problem with the PA? I didn't do a lot of reserch on the zone, and the PA kit is sitting on my workbench. Already got it...you have me second guessing myself.

Default I am looking at the same wheels and tire

Larry cool choice in rim and spot on with the nitto trail grapplers. I have been in contact with a local rim and tire dealership and waiting for the same rim and tires to get here. Only thing is that the picture of what you have posted and what they will really look like are really different. The one pictured is a actually a 22x14" deep rim. The rim you'd be looking at getting are much shallower in the front. I have a picture of these but have not figured out how to post it. It is in a word format and every time I try to post the picture it scrambles it??? I will PM you with a contact so I can get you the pictures.

Well I finally figured out a way to post it, click on the link below it will take you to my shutter fly account where it shows the two rims. Like I said it really changes the appearance I am hesitant to see them in person as I like the deeper look myself.

No problem glad to be of help, I was heart broken when I seen it also. It does change it dramatically. Not to step in on your post, but I just posted a wheel vote, so take a look you might like something I post'd.. Happy hunting and make sure you keep us updated with photo's as soon as you dress her up.

Yea, if you wouldnt have pointed that out i woulda never known. I found a package deal on e-bay, thats where i was gonna get em from. The listing on e-bay shows a pic of the deep wheel for the 18x9's...Man i woulda been pissed when they got here. I will check out your wheel vote post. Thanks again.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the PA lift. Zone only makes the BL for 06-08 and it has sturdier blocks and the bumper lift brackets are alot thicker. The PA is so popular because its the only one for most of the trucks on here! You will be fine with it.

I like the deep wheel look also. Especially on lower trucks, but they look good on lifted trucks too

nice combo, however that wheel is far from an original idea. That seems to be a pretty popular choice of wheel. Also w/ the chrome on ure truck you'd be better off w/ a black&chrome wheel package imo.
