Hatheway did mine on the Icon leveling kit last week.

Good, bad or ugly… I’m gonna do the Zone 3”-4” lift, for the 37’s. It’s a cheap enough kit for me and utilizes mostly stock parts. 🤷‍♂️
This is what I did and I absolutely love it. Works and looks great in my opinion. Only difference is I got the maxlider kit that has the BDS arms.

I saw rough country has a 2.5” kit for Sasquatch but I know everyone bashes their quality lol. But it would be a cheap way to get 37”s on.
I threw on the RC 2.5in lift kit last weekend. In their instruction guide, they left out the step for putting on some bushing spacers for their upper control arms. So, I left those off and drove for a day or two. The UCAs were popping and shifting in place. I ended up throwing my factory arms back on until I could figure out why they were causing an issue. Then, I found the 3.5in lift kit install guide, and it had the step about the spacers. So I reached out to RC, and they said yup, the spacers also need to go on these UCAs. They're sending me a new pair of UCAs in case the original ones got damaged without the spacers.

Overall, I'm pleased with the kit. It's an affordable option until I save up for a much nicer setup. I won't be doing any crazy offroading, but I wanted to add a little extra clearance. Once the 35's tread goes bad, I'll probably upgrade to some 37s too :)

Looks good! I’ve been looking around a bit and I may go with the zone off-road 3” kit but I’m still considering this one as well. They are about the same price and I’ve seen a few people on here say the zone 3” was a good setup. Not in too much of a hurry yet lol I’ve already been spending wayyyy more then I planned 😂

The Zone off-road kit requires you to disassemble the strut to add spacers and washers. The RC kit doesn't have you disassemble anything. Instead, you place the spacer pucks on top with a bit of trimming of one of the top studs. This was why I went with the RC kit over Zone off-road.

The UCAs in the RC kit comes with brand new ball joints, and RC installs them before shipping. The Zone off-road kit has you press out the factory ball joints from your factory UCA and press them into the Zone off-road UCAs.

I hear you on spending way more than planned. I think I've finally reached a stopping point, for now. We'll see how long that lasts!

Great video. I especailly enjoyed the fact you used your son to check clearances and then in the rain to film. LOL. The bloopers was a good bonus too.

Hey NSB,
The truck looks good with 37's. Interesting to read that a bit of trimming is all it needed. I don't have my 2dr yet, hopeful that it is soon, but instead of replacing all the suspension with a new coil over, why not just to a body lift?
