yeah, a body lift with a level is a good combo. If you don't intend to off-road hard, there is nothing at all wrong with it. You won't get the performance that a good quality suspension lift will give you, but 90% of the guys with 4x4s don't really need one.

Hell, I don't go off-road near what I did 8-10 years ago, and when I do, it's basically just to get to fishin and huntin spots. I was in my late 30s when I got this truck and have had a couple of back surgeries. No more "rough riding" for this old, broken down body. I don't think I needed a suspension lift, but I only had done body lifts or coil spacers and rear blocks on my previous lifted trucks and really wanted to try one for a smoother off road ride and was NOT disappointed.

However, if you don't have the $ or the need, you'll be just fine...

Zone is just the fad du jour. There s nothing making them easier or better. Get whichever is cheaper.
