What makes the zone better than a rough county?

Break your leaf springs real quick with those, and cheap blocks can split.

Between the two, get Zone. RC sells inferior products, and they won't change their flawed designs cause people keep buying from them anyway.

For prices, shop around. I think we have a Zone vendor here on CF.

This. RC sells junk and people buy it bc its cheap and they send like 5,000 ****ing stickers when you buy anything. I have personally ran quite a bit of RC junk and will never do it again.

Zone is the best of the cheap lifts. They aren't bad at all; just not the best. Get full leaf packs. Shocks are generally better the more expensive they are. Bilstein 5100s are king, Old Man Emu is prince, and most white monotube shocks are all the same.

Full leaves, AAL's are a Band-Aid lift. They'll wear out your pack and you'll end up where you started from.

I just bought a zone lift from the vendor on here. Price was GREAT. I went with the full leaf and nitro shocks. Havnt put it on yet but i know someone with that setup and couldn't be happier with it.

Full packs and nitros. Add a leaf is just that. One super stiff leaf that forces your stock pack to arch. They ride like crap and don't last long.
