Default what lift kit should i get on cyber monday

come cyber monday im thinking ill finally get a lift kit, im thinking either the

-zone offroad 5" system

or

-rough country 4-5" system.

a few questions on the rough country, are the block size what determine the four or 5 inches of lift because it comes with either 2" or 3" blocks, whats the actual lift , ie 5/3?

also are bboth true lifts that lift without cranking my t-bars up so i can later put on a level?

Yes a 5" lift kit will lift the front 5" and the rear 3" so you get a 3" block for the rear. So you dont need to crank the t bars. As for the kits I would say the RC just because I know of their reputation but not Zone's since they are new to the lift kit game. I know their BLs are good

A guy here in town gots a 3 inch lift from Zone. He likes it.

I'd go with zone unless you want a suspension lift from BDS which theyre outrageous.

ive heard zone is the sister company of bds so im guessing they aren't too shabby and unlike the rancho its a full 5 instead of a actual 4" lift so i think zone is what im leaning towards

Just make sure that they don't "cheat" to get the extra inch or two like the Fabtech and Superlift torsion front IFS kits do, by really lifting 4" and having you turn the key bolts to attain the rest of the height. This has proven to be REAL hard on CVs.

I know the Skyjacker kit gives a true 6" while keeping the CV angles stock. Dunno about any of the others as they weren't out in '05 when I installed my Rancho 4" lift...
