Zone’s HD in the shop for airbags
Zone’s 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD is an awesome truck, loaded up with all the optional factory creature comforts like leather and backup camera as well as some pretty sweet accessories. We used it to prototype our 2011 GM2500 5” lift kits earlier in the year and now rides on the production version of that kit along with a set of 37” Mickeys.
