6″ Ford Excursion Lift Kit Review

May 6, 2010

Dave, I would like to start off by saying thank you to you and Zone Offroad. I was kind of sceptical when I first looked at the Zone Offroad 6″ lift for the Excursion. I had several chat sessions with you and I have to say everything turned out just as you said it would and better. The customer service at Zone Offroad is the best that I have experienced in a long time. The staff had no trouble with all my questions and when they responded they didn’t make me feel like an idiot, but instead made me feel that the

Michigan Jeep Blessing

May 4, 2010

Jeep Blessing May 1st 2010 We started the day with meeting up with Unlimited Offroadout of Fenton, MI to setup the displays.   Although, there was some rain on the trip, it thankfully cleared up for the day.  There was an excellent turn out, however I never did hear a final total of registered jeeps, I know the numbers on the windshields went over 1000.  We had the opportuntiy to talk with many pleased current customers and some future ones.  We were right next to some of the action on the obstacle course.  We have added some picture to our Flickr page.  Thanks goes out to the Cadillac Jeepers for

Zone Offroad 4″ JK Review

Apr 22, 2010

I just wanted to let you guys at Zone know I was very impressed with my 4” suspension lift kit. I installed it on my 2009 4 door jeep wrangler. Lift gives plenty of room for my 35” tires. The delivery was a day earlier than expected and the lift went on with ease. Love the ride and loved the price.                                             Aaron Fielding- Houston, TX Thanks for the feedback Aaron.  If you see this send us some pictures so we can post them here!

Is your Jeep sagging? FAQ #9

Apr 9, 2010

If I add a winch and/or bumper to the front of my jeep.  How much drop should I expect and what should I do about it? Adding any substantial weight to your jeep is guaranteed to reduce the ride height.  How much is going to depend on the spring rate, your specific application, and your aftermarket parts.  However, a general rule of thumb is anywhere from 1/2 to 1″ of drop can be expected from this type of situation.  A simple fix is to purchase some 3/4″ coil spacers like these: http://zoneoffroad.com/product-acc?ki=132&gr= to compenate for the additional weight.  Also listed on that link

1999-2004 Ford Super Duty Leveling Kit FAQ #8

Mar 26, 2010

99-04 2.5″ Super Duty Mini Pack Leveling Kit Common Questions I will attempt to tackle most of the questions we get about this system.  If you guys have more feel free to post comments. Why won’t this fit my truck built before March 1999? Ford made a track bar bolt size change at this time.  The bolt size significatly increased so the adjustable track bar that comes with the kit will not fit.  You may think you could drill out the factory bracket and get new bolts, but the OD of the track bar end dramatically increased to where substantial axle bracket modification would

Track width change? FAQ #7

Mar 19, 2010

I often get asked questions about the track width change with our various IFS suspension lifts.  This would only include the lifts that use the replacement steering knuckles.  A common misconception is to measure the CV spacer to determine the track width change that a lift creates, but this method is not always accurate.  There are other factors like knuckle thickness and control arm angle change that are considered.  Also, not all suspension companies reproduce OE CV shaft engagement.  To make it easy I have included a list of our kits and the associated track width change.  Keep in mind that the overall difference in stance is

Mar 12, 2010

Steering Wheel / Drag link alignment Tech I just put your lift on and now my steering wheel is not straight, how do I fix this? First off, with all of our supsension lifts, we do recommend taking your vehicle in for a professional alignment, however on straight axles here’s some info on how to get it close. The following only applies to vehicles that have a solid front axle and solid tie rods; Ford F250s and 2007+ Jeep Wranglers (JK) for example.  We happen to have an F250 in the shop today.  After installing a lift the drag link will need to
